Meet Smithfield’s Newest Police K-9 — Now Name Him
SMITHFIELD, N.C. — Smithfield’s newest police officer has four legs — and needs a name.
The Smithfield Police Department is asking the community to help name its new K-9, recently paired with Officer I. Landon.
Before hitting the streets, the dog will complete a 12-week training program to become a narcotics detection K-9. But first, officers want the public to weigh in.
Seventeen names are up for consideration, and voting is open now through 5 p.m. Friday, May 8.
Police say the effort is a way to introduce the department’s newest crime-fighter — and give the community a chance to be part of it.
Residents can cast their vote through the department’s online survey.
