Officer K-9 Eli Novacek, 9 years old, dedicated police canine and family dog of Elizabeth Township Police Department passed away Wednesday, May 15, 2024. Eli was sworn into duty May 26, 2016 and was trained in patrol & narcotics. During his time on duty, he was responsible for numerous drug raids, and arrests. Outside of patrol, Eli was an amazing family dog with an outgoing personality. You would often see Eli with his handler Officer Dan Novacek at every event the township and school district held. From attending new business' opening days, to all holiday parades, and even the PR events and take your child to work days - Eli was right there. He was fantastic with kids. Always playful and energetic, and if you ever threw his red Kong ball, even just once, your friendship was instant. The family would like to extend their gratitude to all of the businesses and sponsors over the years who have donated and supported Eli through his entire career.

She was a 1964 graduate of Clairton High School, then worked for many years as a waitress at the Blue Flame and Puck Jones restaurants. She was a hard working, fun loving lady who always had a smile on her face and a quick remark. She loved her family and always looked forward to Thanksgiving, Christmas, and picnics on her deck. She never met a card game, a poker machine or a slot machine that she didn't like.
