## Resource

K9 Conner, a six-year police hero from Gaston County, passed away after an incredible career sniffing out over $1.5 million in drugs and helping make over 200 felony arrests—way above the national average. Beyond the stats, he was a beloved community fixture, bonding with locals at events and enjoying a sweet retirement with his handler, Officer Price, playing ball, napping with family, and even hanging out with goats. The department honored him with the nickname “Con-Man” and praised his unwavering loyalty, calling his legacy unforgettable. His loss deeply affects the force and the community—he wasn’t just a dog; he was a partner, protector, and friend whose impact will never be forgotten.
