New Halton police dogs follow in their families' footsteps Everyone in Halton will remember Police Service Dog (PSD) Arrow, the cute puppy recruit who needed a name. In June, Halton elementary schools were asked to join in a name-the-dog contest. Brookville Public School won, offering the name Arrow. According to a release from Halton police, PSD Arrow, a pure Belgian Malinois, was born Dec. 30, 2012 in Baton Rouge, La. in the U.S. He came to Canada through a breeder in Niagara-On-TheLake, Ont. His father is an active Police Service Dog with the Baton Rouge Police Department and his mother is a high-ranking sport dog. Const. Kyle Gibson is PSD Arrow's handler. Police said Arrow is a bark-and-hold-trained dog like the rest of the canine team. As a general patrol dog, he is trained in the following: tracking, open area, building, articles, obedience, apprehension, handler protection, and agility. PSD Arrow is also crossed-trained in narcotics detection. He has proven himself to be fast, agile and intense. Gibson has been training with PSD Arrow since September and achieved certification on the basic handler's course. PSD Arrow's first shift is Monday (Dec. 21). The addition of this team will take the active canine team comprised of dogs and handlers to six. As PSD Tracker retires, PSD Jax is a new puppy who is working hard to join the team, said police. PSD Jax was born Nov. 5, 2014 in Niagara-OnThe-Lake, Ont. His father is a Belgian Malinois, and his mother is German Shepherd. Both big, and strong, and only 13 months old, PSD Jax will be utilized for general patrol, and will be cross-trained in narcotics when he matures. Like father like son; PSD Jax's father is a General Patrol Dog employed with the Niagara Regional Police. Cst. Mike Dobbin will be Jax's handler, said police. Both PSD Arrow and PSD Jax were sworn in and received their police badge at a ceremony last night (Thursday, Dec. 17). The students at Brookville Public School will receive a visit from PSD Arrow in January 2016, thanking them for his name -- as the dog "will always be on the mark," said police. 11 | Friday, December 18, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com Jet Peel - Facial of the Future Arrow Natural, Effective, Gentle & Painless · Removes Sun Damages & Pigmentations · Reduces Wrinkles & Rejuvenates · Deep Cleanses & Exfoliates 361 Cornwall Rd., Oakville Jax www.beautyinstituteandspa.com 289.291.0168 THE ALL-NEW 2016 LEXUS RX.
