2 New K-9s Join Alexandria Police Department

ALEXANDRIA, VA—The two newest additions to the Alexandria Police Department are of the four-legged type. Two new dogs, K-9 Rez and K-9 Baka, are being welcomed to the police department.

The two K-9s are originally from Hungary, but Alexandria Police got them from Southern Coast K9 in Florida.

"After an early flight, a long afternoon in the Florida sun, five states, a night in a hotel room with the pups (over 800 miles and a 13 hour drive home), these two dogs will hopefully be part of the Alexandria Police Department for the next 7-8 years," the police department wrote in a Facebook post.

The 2-year-old K-9 Rez is a Belgian Malinois and will be partnered with Officer Egan. The 1-year-old German Shepherd K-9 Baka will partner with Officer Russel. B

Both with go through basic K9 patrol school next week.
