Waterford, CT – The Waterford Police Department has a new addition to their K-9 unit, but this dog’s job is different than anything the department has seen.
“Hodges is definitely not the typical K-9 officer, but he is definitely vital to our police department,” said Officer Eric Fredricks, Waterford’s community engagement officer and Hodges’ handler.
Hodges, a Black Labrador Retriever, is a service dog. He has been with the department for about two weeks and will focus on officer wellness, victim wellness, and community engagement.
