NAUGATUCK Naugatuck Police Department has added a new member to its ranks.
In a Facebook post this weekend, the department said K9 Tommy, a German shepherd, is stepping in following the retirement of another dog on the team, K9 Vane.
The 2-year-old dog is named after Robert “Tommy” Byrne, a police officer who died in 2017.
K9 Tommy, who hails from the Czech Republic, also “comes from the same bloodline as K9 Vane,” according to the post.
“K9 Tommy is trained in tracking/apprehension of criminal suspects and location of missing persons,” the post reads. “We wish him the best as he begins his journey with #teamNPD !”
