Dax, a 3-year-old Belgian Malinois, is assigned to Patrol Officer Phil Reed, a four-year veteran of the department.
Reed and Dax recently finished their intensive dual purpose handler course May 17. The acquisition was made possible with funds received from a donor who wanted to remain anonymous.
WPD plans to retire K-9 Pako at the end of the year. Pako, who is currently assigned to Corporal Allen Danko, has served the department for the past six years.
