PAPS welcomes 2 new police dogs

Feb 10, 2020 | 3:00 PM

The Prince Albert Police Service (PAPS) has completed their quartet of police dogs with two new canines.

Zorro and Ares are both 13-month-old German Shepherds.

Over the next few months they will learn the basics of tracking and searching.

Ares is a relative of another new PAPS canine hire, Kal. Both dogs hail from Slovakia, but come to the force via a canine academy in California.

Zorro trained at an academy in Alabama.
