Gaylord City Police Dept. Welcomes First K-9 Officer
May 6, 2021
The Gaylord City Police Department got an extra special addition to their force on Tuesday, a new K-9 Officer named Zero.
“Ever since I got into law enforcement a couple years ago, it’s been a huge thing I’ve wanted to do,” said K-9 Officer Daniel Goertz, Zero’s handler. “Having someone that’s able to go do stuff that we’re not able to do is a big factor and it helps us do our job.”
Officer Zero comes from Northern Michigan K9, Inc, who trains dogs to become K-9 Officers. He and Officer Goertz spent the month of April training side by side before Zero came in for his first day on the job.
