The latest addition to the Boston Police Department is a 9-week old Belgian Shepherd male puppy.

He is being trained for patrol and explosive ordinance detection. Police are looking for a name that is strong and has no more than two syllables.

"Things you should know: our furry friend is a 9-week old Belgian Shepherd male being groomed for patrol and explosive ordinance detection duties. According to head BPD K-9 trainer Troy Caisey, names should be strong, commanding and no more than 2 syllables. For example: names like Tuco, Bronson and Solo would be more than suitable."

Send in your name picks and if they choose yours, you'll get your own BPD patch! Plus bragging rights, of course.
