OSWEGO, NY – The Oswego City Police Department is pleased to announce the addition of its new K-9 unit consisting of Officer James LaDue and Crixus, a two-year-old Dutch Shephard donated by the State Police.

The pair recently completed a New York State Police 20-week Basic K9 Handler training program in Cooperstown, where they were trained in tracking, building searches, handler protection, and narcotic detection.
Additional funding for the program including food, equipment, and veterinary bills have been supplemented through forfeitures acquired by the Oswego City Police Anti-Crime Team.
