A new K-9 is coming to Hibbing.[Hibbing Police]
A new electronic detection K-9 is coming to Hibbing. The police department said the K-9 is a two-year-old female black Labrador Retriever and is currently housed with Jordan Detection K-9 in Greenfield, Indiana.
They were able to obtain the K-9 through grant assistance from Operation Underground Railroad (O.U.R.)
Handler Officer Brittany Dillinger will be attending training at Jordan Detection K-9 and the dog will be put into service in our region in late March.
The agency says they are looking for the community’s help in naming the new K-9.
If you have a name suggestion, please email Officer Brittany Dillinger at bdillinger@ci.hibbing.mn.us.
Send in your nominations until February 6th, and then the department will announce the name on February 7th.
The individual’s nomination we select will get a meet and greet with the K9 and Officer Dillinger. They will also get the opportunity to do a ride along with the K-9 and Officer Dillinger.
