Murphy, a 15-month-old German shepherd from Hungary, is the newest member of the department’s K-9 unit. He will go through six weeks of training to learn how to track suspects, detect narcotics, conduct building searches and protect his handler.

Police said Murphy will work the night shift once his training is complete.
