BETHEL, CT — The Bethel Police Department is welcoming its newest K-9 recruit.

The as-yet unnamed 16 month-old German Shepherd was born in the Czech Republic and was purchased through Kennel Zo Slovenskeho Dvora, according to the BPD.

Officer Gregory Ammon and his new K-9 partner will be attending a 12-week training program in East Hartford starting next month. The training will consist of obedience, building searches, evidence recovery, narcotics detection, suspect apprehension, and tracking.

The police are soliciting suggestions from the public for the new officer's name on social media here.
