His name is Sarge, a 2-year-old Dutch shepherd who is trained to sniff out controlled substances.Â
Officer Alec Coscarella will be his handler, trainer and roommate.
Salida Police Chief Russ Johnson said Tuesday the department has been interested in adding a K9 program for years.
The search has been long for the right animal and the right time, but everything came together when Sarge became available in February.
Johnson said there has been a lot of community support and donations that helped the department with funding when some grants proved too restrictive.Â
The cost of adding Sarge to the department exceeded $17,000, more than $10,500 of which came from donations.Â

Closing Time at the Roller Garden After more than 75 years of roller skating, the beloved St. Louis Park venue will close permanently on May 8.
Roller Garden, that time capsule of a roller rink in St. Louis Park where every child of the ‘70s and ‘80s had a birthday party, a first kiss, a first heartbreak often in the span of one Bee Gees song will close its doors for good on May 8.
For 76 years, Minnesotans have rounded the wooden rink inside the red brick building that was originally a hippodrome, used for horseback riding, tennis, and smelt fries, according to a 2009 MinnPost article penned by former news anchor Roxane Battle, who acknowledged winning a roller skating contest or two in her day. Bill Sahly and his late father-in-law, Russ Johnson, bought the venue in 1969 and it remained a family business for 52 years.
The 22-year-old Eaton man was last seen Feb. 22, according to family members.
His car, a black 1999 Toyota Rav4, was found in Salida March 2, parked on F street between 13th and 14th streets.
Johnson said the car was removed by law enforcement and has been processed, but no clues or evidence was discovered.
Samples of family membersâ DNA has been collected for comparison if needed.
Schwartz is described as blond with blue eyes, about 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing about 150 pounds.
The family has offered a $20,000 reward for information leading to his location and safe return.
Anyone with information about Schwartz is asked to call Chaffee County Dispatch at 719-539-2596, or to remain anonymous call Chaffee County CrimeStoppers at 719-539-5299.
