MEET MARCO, OUR NEW CANINE OFFICER
|
|
Marco is our new Canine Officer. He is three years old and was born and trained in Europe. Marco
was paid for with funds seized from drug users and dealers, saving the City's taxpayers thousands of dollars.
|
|
Marco, and his handler Officer Call, are on-call at all times to assist this Department's officers and other
surrounding agencies with any call where his particular skills will be useful. Marco and Officer Call have just
completed certification in apprehensions and narcotics enforcement. Future training for more certifications is
planned.

|
Marco is a great asset to this agency and will help us make this community safer and more drug-free for years to come.
