Welcome to the force, Honza!

The Johnston Police Department recently introduced the newest member of their team, Honza, a German Shepherd from the Czech Republic. Honza will be working alongside his handler, Officer Eli McGuire-Krueger, as they begin an intensive training program at the Rhode Island K-9 Academy. This initial phase of their training will focus on narcotics detection.

Honza’s arrival marks an exciting addition to the department, reinforcing its commitment to public safety and proactive policing.

Please join us in welcoming Honza and wishing him and Officer McGuire-Krueger success in their training and future service to the community. (Photos courtesy of the Johnston Police Department Facebook page)
