Tracking K-9
K-9 Jake was the department's first K-9 and he was dual certified in K-9 patrol, human tracking, and narcotics odor detection. One notable arrest by Officer Jany and K-9 Jake was the apprehension of a burglar who was breaking into homes and molesting women as they slept. K-9 Jake received recognition for his civil service in 1996 when he was named the Monroe Fair Days Parade Marshal. He retired in 1997 and was honored that year when a residential street (Jake Drive in the Fryelands neighborhood) was named after him.
