Town of Tonawanda Police Department Mourns the Loss of K9 Diehl

The Town of Tonawanda Police Department is deeply saddened to announce the passing of K9 Diehl, beloved partner of Officer Ryan Taber. K9 Diehl faithfully served the department since September 10, 2018, and was an invaluable member of our K9 Unit.

A highly skilled German Shepherd, K9 Diehl’s training and expertise included tracking, agility, article search, building and open-area search, chase and apprehension, and handler protection. She was on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and responded to countless tactical calls. Her presence was integral to operations involving containment and support for the department’s SWAT Team. Beyond her operational duties, K9 Diehl was also a proud ambassador of the department. She participated in numerous public demonstrations and regularly attended community events and school presentations, helping build trust between the police and the community we serve.

K9 Diehl was chosen for her physical ability, strength, intelligence, and strong temperament—traits essential for high-stress law enforcement situations. She was named in honor of the late Captain Thomas J. Diehl, who tragically passed away on April 10, 2017, leaving a legacy of dedication and service.

The Town of Tonawanda Police Department extends its deepest condolences to K9 Diehl’s partner, Officer Ryan Taber, and all who had the privilege of working alongside her. She will be remembered not only as a loyal and courageous K9 officer but also as a symbol of honor and commitment. Rest in peace, K9 Diehl. You served with strength and heart. You will not be forgotten.
