We are excited to introduce the newest member of the Arcadia Police Department- K-9 Program

We are excited to introduce the newest member of the Arcadia Police Department!  This newest member is an almost three year old, pure bred, German Shepherd who arrived from Germany a few days ago.  He will be joining our K-9 program along with his new partner Officer Nick Cvetkovich.  Nick and his K-9 partner will spend the next 13 weeks in a training academy learning both patrol and narcotics detection skills.  

So the big question is.....What is Officer Cvetkovic's partners name? As you are aware, our Police K-9 Program already has another dog named "Kota." Kota has become quite popular with our community in recent months, and we believe our newest K-9 will soon follow that same path.  And what better way to introduce him to our community than to let our Arcadia students name him for us! Since we'd like both of our K-9s to have names that begin with the letter "K", we've narrowed down the choices for our newest K-9 to three names.  

They are:  Kasch (pronounced "Cash"), Kaiser, and Khan.  

We will be providing pictures of our newest K-9 and the three names to the Arcadia Unified School District.  Students from each elementary class and middle-school home room will vote on the names and provide the results to the school district.  Once the votes are counted, the result will be provided to the police department.  The formal announcement will be made on February 4th at the City Council meeting.  

Please join us in welcoming the new additions to our K-9 Unit!
