Recently a group from the MPD K9 unit went to Shallow Creek Kennels in Pennsylvania and selected our three newest K9 candidates. Officers Sarah Boespflug, Andrew Strachota, and Josh Bower will be headed back in March to begin their handler training with them and will be returning after a rigorous 6 week training program to start additional training with our K9 unit prior to going solo on the street with their new K9 partners. Our team believes the new K9 candidates are very promising and once they begin training with them at Shallow Creek and we are sure theywill be a good fit for the MPD K9 Unit, we will share more information about them.
