Officers from several area police departments paid tribute to a fallen member of the Jamestown Police Department during a procession Wednesday morning.

A line of officers, as well as firefighters and city officials, lined the front of the department’s East Second Street headquarters to honor K-9 Promber, who died suddenly Saturday morning.

A large American flag was draped from two of the city’s ladder trucks just next to City Hall.

A caravan of police vehicles, including that of handler Erik Kraft, passed in front of the department around 11:45 a.m. Officers saluted as the vehicles passed.

Lt. Timothy Jackson, interim chief of the Jamestown Police Department, said he was shocked to learn of K-9 Promber’s passing. “It was completely unexpected, I was in complete shock,” Jackson said.
