Jack joined the Hermantown Police Department in 2016, and works with Sergeant Jon Pernu. He is a dual purpose K-9 trained to apprehend suspects and to detect narcotics, evidence and people.

Originally from Poland, this Belgian Shepherd proved his worth on his very first call when he was asked to track a suspect who’d fled from a car following a chase. Despite the rough terrain that included woods and swamp, K-9 Jack was able to sniff out three different pieces of evidence the suspect had hidden while fleeing.
