Meet Maui, Northampton Township's New Police Dog

NORTHAMPTON TOWNSHIP, PA —The Northampton Township Police Department has welcomed K9 Maui to its force.

On Wednesday, K9 Maui hit the road with Officer Eric Freas, and was joined by K9 Pako for a tour around the township, the police department said in a Facebook post.

After a photo shoot at police headquarters, Maui and Pako's first stop was to visit state Rep. Kristin Marcell.

From there, Maui paid a visit to a few Council Rock schools. Police said that Maui hoped to meet Achieve students Wednesday, but that they were on a field trip.

"Help us welcome K9 Maui and wish him a safe and successful career," the police department said.
