K-9 Name Mission

Children at Cleveland Elementary School met the Port Huron Police Department’s new K9 team last Friday. Officer Caleb Paul and Sgt. Jennifer Sly introduced a 14-month-old male German Shepherd, asking students for name suggestions like “Fluffy,” “Sprinkles,” and “Zeus.” The dog, bred in Slovakia, will detect narcotics and track missing persons, replacing the retired K9 Knight. Sgt. Sly will train him for five weeks before Officer Paul takes over. The team will visit other schools to continue gathering name ideas.
