Officer Jodoin and K9 Blue were invited to Fairhaven High School for an advisory demonstration. Students interested in a career working with animals learned about working breeds in Law Enforcement and the canine olfactory (The Nose). Students watched K9 Blue demonstrate his skills, and rewarded him with his favorite ball when a hide was found. Good boy Blue!
