Amazing K9 Duo's: Meet K9 Apollo of the New Canaan Police Department! Want me to feature a k9 in your town? Email: renee3@iheartmedia.com

We feature a new K9 team every Monday on WFSB Channel 3 Eyewitness News at 4:50pm (or about that time!)

NEW CANAAN, CT (WFSB) – This week’s K9 duo comes from the New Canaan Police Department.

Officer Obando and his partner Apollo have a lot in common, including getting some exercise before their shift and making sure they come into work with a full stomach.

Apollo has been trained in tracking and narcotics cases.

“When it comes to tracking it’s specifically a wide range of things,” said Officer Obando. “It can be a missing individual, a missing suspect, whether you know it’s a missing child or an elderly individual, he’s ready to go!”

Officer Obando and Apollo also make a lot of stops around the New Canaan community.

“We like to attend a lot of the community events such as coffee with a cop,” Obando said. “A lot of summer events coming up as well. We try to connect the k9 program with the community as well.”
