On Monday, February 22nd, Connecticut State Police Sergeant Mathieu Asselin, parent and coordinator of the St. Bernard Police Club, kicked off a new after school program at St. Bernard School. The first session included a visit from The Connecticut State Police K-9 Unit. Trooper First Class Anthony Cristy and his K9 partner, Axel, along with Trooper Ryan Cloukey and his K9 partner Rocky demonstrated to the students some basic commands as well as search and rescue techniques. After the presentation, Trooper Cristy and Trooper Cloukey answered students’ questions about the K9s, their handlers and the responsibilities that go along with the training and care of both the dogs and the unit.
