K-9 Cop Joins Galloway Township Police Department

Galloway Township, NJ -- The Galloway Township Police Department’s newest officer is a 15-month old Czechoslovakian Shepherd.

K-9 Colt and his partner Ofc. Brent Lopez will begin the Atlantic County K-9 Academy in early September, with a graduation date of mid-February, Galloway Township Police announced on Wednesday.

Lopez has been a Galloway Township Police officer for two years. He previously worked as a Class 2 Officer for the City of Atlantic City Police Department.

“Lopez is an extremely personable and dedicated officer,” Galloway Township Police Chief Donna Higbee said. “He volunteers his personal time in the community aside from his public service as an officer, and is a pleasure to work with. On behalf of the men and women of the Galloway Township Police Department, I wish Ofc. Lopez continued success in his career and I know that he will be an asset to the community as a K-9 handler.”
