First Moscow PD Drug-Sniffing Dog Ready For Duty

There will soon be a drug-sniffing dog on patrol on the Idaho side of the border here on the Palouse.

The Moscow Police Department’s first ever drug-sniffing dog arrives home today after 5 weeks of training.  Ragnar and his handler Officer Ryan Snyder trained in Indiana.

City council approved the Moscow PD’s first drug-sniffing dog.  Chief James Fry says the money used to pay for Ragnar has come from private donations from community organizations.  Chief fry says Ragnar is a game changer in the fight against narcotics in Moscow.

Ragnar can also be made available to the Latah County Sheriff’s Office which doesn’t have a drug-sniffing dog.
