A K-9 officer who served for seven years in a Georgia police department is about to start a well-deserved retirement, the department has announced.
Jacquo maintained a full patrol police dog certification through North American Police Work Dog Association as well as National Narcotic Detector Dog Association . This means he was specifically trained and certified in narcotics detection, article search, tracking, obedience, and criminal apprehension. He was assigned to work Evening Watch, as well as part of the MPD Crime Interdiction Unit .
“Working with a canine is a little different from working with a human. They do talk back unlike [what] people think.” Powell joked about his dynamic with Jacquo. “However, the nice thing is that I know I have to trust him 100 percent and let him do his job, whereas I’m just the person holding the leash at the end of the day.”
A 2019 Facebook post by Marietta Police showed Jacquo posing next to his and Powell’s new police cruiser “Jacquo is showing off his new ride! The old truck served him well, but it was time for an upgrade! Oh, and his handler Officer Powell is pretty happy too,” the post read. Jacquo is showing off his new ride!
