OLMSTED FALLS, Ohio — A few years removed from having its last police K9, the Olmsted Falls Police Department is restarting its unit with the recent addition of Gauge, a 12-week-old Belgian Malinois partnered with Patrolman Dan Daugherty.

“There are several benefits to having a K9 officer in the city,” Police Chief Odis B. Rogers said. “Having a K9 to search for a suspect in a building or in a wooded area, that helps to keep our officers safe. Also, searching for narcotics, it helps keep our community safe.”

Olmsted Falls Mayor James Graven added, “I’m all about increasing safety. I just think the police K9 will keep our officers and citizens more safe.”
