The picturesque town of Sanford, Fla., was recently presented with two new additions to their police department?EUR??,,????'?????< ?EUR??,,????'?????< Girard himself is a former K-9 unit officer with the Cocoa Police Department of Florida and firmly believes that the dogs serve as an integral part of law enforcement. A 15-month-old Labrador from Mexico named Girard, is currently being trained in narcotics detection. L.E.O. (short for Law Enforcement Officer) is a 15-month-old German shepherd. L.E.O is being trained as a full-service patrol dog who will be able to detect explosives, conduct building searches, help apprehend criminals, and provide handler protection once his training is complete. Training the dogs takes about four to six months. The donation from The Girard Companies totaled $18,500. Sounds expensive for two dogs, but the cost covers their training and the cost of purchasing them. Girard and L.E.O are the sixth and seventh canines in the Sanford department. Girard has been assigned to work with Officer Rebecca Wixson, a seven-year veteran of the Sanford Police Department and the first woman to work on the K-9 unit. L.E.O will be paired with Ted Butler who has been a Florida police officer for 11 years, four of which have been in Sanford.
