A graduation for K-9 was recently held at Fairfield Police Department for Fairfield, Trumbull, Derby and Seymour.  Fairfield Police Chief Gary MacNamara said K-9’s make our department better.  First Selectman Michael Tetreau agreed, citing K-9 Ruger’s at his retirement ceremony a few months back.  K-9 Ruger had to retire over health issues.   Frank Reda from Superior K-9 said the benefit is teamwork, that each town will share the dogs and the same training allows police  K-9 to “plug and play”, that is each officer and K-9 knows what is expected.

The graduates were Fairfield Officer Kevin Wells with K-9 Jager, Fairfield Officer Evan Kaesmann with Maverick, Trumbull Officer Richard Carlson with Cyrus, Trumbull Officer Gregory Lee with Storm, Seymour Officer Matthew Butler with K-9 Rex and Derby Ambulance Rescue Firefighter David Lenart with K-9 Ponch.
