QPD Getting Narcotics K-9

Quincy Police will soon have a narcotics-detecting K-9 office on the force. Officer Mike Stump is set to head to six weeks of training next week at the Department of Corrections Washington Corrections Center in Shelton. The K9s, which are all rescue dogs that came from animal shelters, are trained to find heroin, cocaine, methamphetamines, marijuana, spice, suboxone and tobacco. Nonprofit organization Friends of the Quincy Animal Shelter raised around $20,000 to pay for the training.
