Cops and K-9 Honored For Good Work
posted (December 15, 2017)
25 police officers were awarded for their exemplary work today. A ceremony was held today at the Queen Street police station to award the officers - just in time for the Christmas. Among the officers was K-9 Amigo. He was recognized for sniffing out about 23 pounds of weed this year. Here is more from the ceremony.

ACP Edward Broaster, Commander of Operations
"We decided that we would award the hard working officers who have been putting in some serious work in the City to enhance citizen's security. Based on data that we have available to us through our analysis team, they selected the top 5 from each specialized unit to be awarded today. The officer commanding the K-9 Unit who work closely with the Humane Society have decided to have an award for the top dog of the year who has been "Amigo." Amigo has done a lot of great work in detecting drugs as well as firearm throughout the city, throughout the country on a whole and he is been the dog chosen for this year's award because of the significant number of seizures that he has made."

The officers got a monetary gift - while "Amigo" got a medal, and hopefully, also an extra serving of dog chow.
