ANGOLA â Angola Police Chief Ken Whitmire announced last week that the department has selected a new candidate for its K-9 unit, Officer Max Essman.
The Angola police department has expressed interest in a new canine officer for the past few weeks and is excited by the prospect of a new furry recruit.
âWe very much look forward to having another canine,â said Whitmire. âThat would give us one on each shift and broaden our abilities a bit more.â
The department currently has two canine officers. Zara began in May 2019 with her handler Officer Brian Knoll, and Diego joined soon after in June 2020 with Officer John Burris.
