A new K-9 officer has joined the force, paired with an experienced sergeant. This sergeant has spent 18 years serving. The K-9, a German Shepherd, is one and a half years old and has undergone specialized training.

The department has high hopes for this new team member, who has been trained to detect firearms. The K-9's training lasted three months and was completed before being introduced to the public. Further details about the K-9 officer and its role are available from the department, which introduced the new team member during a press conference.
