CKPS Canine Is Tops

Chatham-Kent police are celebrating their top dog.

A member of the K-9 unit, named Arry, recently won first place in agility and searching at the US Police Canine Association regionals and dog trials and placed third overall.

In the spring, Arry won top spot in tracking.

Chief Gary Conn says Arry's handler and trainer, Constable Rick Bertok, deserves a lot of credit for Arry's success.
