West Fargo Police Department welcomes K-9 Thor

(West Fargo, ND) -- The West Fargo Police Department are welcoming a new member to the K-9 team.

K-9 Thor is an 18 month old German Shepherd/Belgian Malinois cross who specializes in narcotics, patrol and tracking. Thor is sponsored through an anonymous donation of $15,000 to the K-9 unit. 

The West Fargo Police Department is incredibly fortunate to have amazing support from the community,” said Police Chief Denis Otterness. “Through a generous donation such as this, we are able to enhance our ability to protect and serve the residents of West Fargo.”

Thor will replace K-9 Macho, who retired with the promotion of Assistant Chief Pete Nielsen.
