Tucker, the Millcreek Police Department's 2-year-old PTSD service dog, is being promoted to the rank of Major in recognition of his contributions and the positive impact he's had on the community.

 Major is one level above the rank of Captain. 

According to the department, this recommendation highlights the tradition in many police departments of service dogs holding a rank above their handlers. 

The promotion will be formally presented during the Supervisor's Meeting on Monday, January 6 at 9:30 a.m.
