Ginger was more than a working dog; she was a trusted member of the campus family. Known for her steady presence and calm nature, she built strong connections with students, staff, and visitors alike. Whether assisting in safety duties or simply offering comfort through her companionship, Ginger played an essential role in creating a secure and welcoming environment at GGC.

Her service and dedication did not go unnoticed. Ginger was honored with the Judge Arthur M. Kaplan First Responder Award, a recognition that reflected her impact across the community. The award served as a lasting testament to her courage, devotion, and the countless lives she touched throughout her years at the college.

The loss of Ginger has left a deep void within the GGC Police Department and among all who knew her. Colleagues and community members remember her not only for her commitment to duty but also for the warmth she brought to every interaction.
As the GGC family comes together to honor her memory, thoughts remain with her handler and the entire Police Department during this difficult time. Ginger’s legacy will endure through the safety, comfort, and goodwill she provided to the campus she faithfully served.
