The Johns Creek Police Department welcomed a new officer recently. "Leo," a two-year-old German Shepherd from The Netherlands was sworn in July 11 and joins two other German Shepherds, Nico and Dano, in the JCPD's K-9 Unit.

"Leo is a full-service patrol dog. He is trained and certified in narcotics detection, tracking and apprehension," said his handler, Officer Will Goins. "He's fitting right in here in Georgia."
