Delaware Police Welcome New K-9 Members

Delaware police will welcome three new members come July.

The New Castle County’s newest K-9 rookies include Ax and Champ who are both 18 months old and Nitro, who is 14 months old.

All three officers will use their trained noses to pick up specific odor recognitions and detect potentially controlled and dangerous substances.

In honor of the new pups, the future K-9 officers and their handlers participated in electric service company Delmarva Power’s “Take Your Child to Work Day,” where the canines showed off their skills.

The dogs began their initial training in January during frigid temperatures and are expected to complete their program this summer.
