A new member has joined the ranks of the Paso Robles K9 unit patrol force: police K9 “Griff.”
The police department says Griff is a 15-month-old German shepherd, imported from Serbia, and has been trained for handler protection, apprehension, searching, and narcotics detection.
Griff’s first day on duty will be Friday, March 7th at 4 pm. Officer Stephen Lugo has been selected to be Griff’s handler, the department says.
