Centralia police announced a new hire at their department; Lobo, a German Shepherd who is preparing to work with Officer Ruben Ramirez.
The 1-year-old dog is undergoing orientation and will begin formal training in September, according to a news release from Centralia Police Department Chief Bob Berg.
Lobo’s $9,000 price tag leaves the department’s K-9 program in need of donations, according to Berg. Anyone wishing to support the program can contact the department at 330-7680.
More on Lobo another day.
