Officer Gary Gear and Quent
Friday - November 23,
2001 - The Porter County Sheriff's Department suffered a great loss
today, when K-9 Quent was struck and killed by a car in front of his
handler's residence. All of us who knew Quent are greatly saddened, but
none are as grief stricken as Officer Gary Gear and his fellow K-9
handlers who have worked closely together as a team. Officer Gear and
Quent had worked together as partners for over two years, and had been
involved in a number of drug arrests.
