K-9 Kelly in an apprehension exercise
The Great Falls Police Department K-9 Unit is comprised of two K-9 teams. K-9 Kelly is a 6 year old Belgian Malanois, and K-9 Rhingo is a 4 year old Dutch Shepard. Both dogs hail from Holland and were trained in the United States at Southern Police Canine Inc. (SPCI) in North Carolina. The K-9’s along with their handlers, Officers LaBard and Green, are assigned to patrol teams. Each of the teams are subject to call-out on demand. They are proficient in the fields of narcotics detection and criminal apprehension. Since their addition to the force in 2004, the K-9 Unit has proven to be a valuable resource to the citizens of Great Falls and the officers of the Great Falls Police Department.
