Meet Fairfax County's Newest K-9 Recruit: CJ

Seven-week Bloodhound CJ traveled to the county from Alabama.

Meet the newest cop on the beat: She’s a K-9 recruit working for Fairfax County Police. Here’s what FCPD has to say about her, via their Facebook page:

“Our newest K9 recruit, CJ, says Happy Monday to everyone! You can’t help but smile when you see her! CJ is just 7 weeks old and traveled up from Alabama last week. She will live with her new K9 handler and ride alongside K9 Cody over the next year, as she grows and begins training. CJ is a Bloodhound. Her Bloodhound cousins, K9 Bolt and K9 Silas, already serve on the department. CJ will learn to find missing children and adults with her amazing tracking abilities! Let’s give CJ a big welcome to our county!”
