A Fairfield police sergeant and his four-legged partner have notched a major accomplishment, as they were unanimously picked as winners for the top K-9 deployment in Connecticut for 2019.
Sgt. Evan Kaesmann and Maverick have a pretty impressive track record seizing pounds of narcotics and locating more than 100 suspects and missing people over the years.
