Rest in peace, Cooper.

Our deepest sympathies are with Captain Miller, his family, and all who loved K-9 Cooper! 🐾

🐾 Rest Easy, K9 Cooper 🐾

The Auburn Police Department is saddened to announce the passing of retired K9 Cooper.

Cooper proudly served the Auburn Police Department and the Auburn community from July 2018 through December 2023, alongside his handler, Captain Miller.

During his time with the department, Cooper was more than a K9 officer. He was a trusted partner, a loyal companion, and a valued member of the Auburn Police Department family. The bond between Cooper and Captain Miller was built through countless hours of training, service, and dedication to our community.

Although Cooper retired from service in December 2023, the impact he made during his years of service will not be forgotten.

Our deepest condolences go out to Captain Miller, his family, and everyone who had the privilege of knowing and working with Cooper.

Thank you for your service, Cooper. 💙🐾

Rest easy, good boy. You will be missed and never forgotten.

📢 DeKalb County Mobile Office Coming to Auburn

📅 This Friday, September 18
🕑 2:00–4:00 PM
📍 City of Auburn Council Chambers
206 E. 9th Street, Auburn, IN

Members of the community are invited to stop by and speak with a representative from the Lieutenant Governor’s Office about any questions, comments, or concerns they may have regarding state government.

These Mobile Offices are being held in communities throughout Indiana to give constituents an opportunity to connect with state government and members of the Lieutenant Governor’s staff at a more convenient, local level.

Please note: The Lieutenant Governor will NOT be present at this Mobile Office. Members of his staff will be available to meet with community members.

The City of Auburn is providing the Council Chambers as a location for this community opportunity. This is not a City of Auburn event or a city-sponsored program. We are simply happy to make our facility available so residents can more conveniently meet with representatives from state government.

We encourage DeKalb County residents to take advantage of this opportunity to ask questions, share concerns, and connect with their state government representatives.
