Thanks Washington & @_BigBen7 for contributions to reestablishing City of Washington K9 Police Unit â€“ Mayor Brenda Davis via Twitter @Mayor_Davis

â€œThe city has its first police dog since the department disbanded its K9 unit in 1997â€³

From Mike Jones, Washington Observer-Reporter:

Ever since he was young, Matthew Karlowsky wanted to be a police officer, his father said. Then, when he was hired as a Washington patrolman eight years ago, he set his sights on one day becoming a police dogâ€™s handler.

His vision came to fruition Thursday night when the veteran officer and the cityâ€™s new police dog, Golem, were formally introduced during a swearing-in ceremony at City Hall.

Golem, a 10-month-old German shepherd, could barely control his excitement for the ceremony, barking at times and searching for his ball in the cargo pocket of Karlowskyâ€™s pants.

The dog was born in the Czech Republic and trained with Karlowsky for six weeks at Shallow Creek Kennels in Mercer County. Karlowsky gives Golem commands in Czech as they continue to train to hone the dogâ€™s drug-detection and patrol skills.

Karlowsky served in the U.S. Army during the Iraq war and it was during that 14-month deployment that he wanted to work with dogs after watching military K9 handlers, his father, Rick, said.

â€œThis boy has always wanted to be a police officer, and ever since then, he wanted to be a K9 handler,â€ Rick Karlowsky said.

The community raised about $47,000 the past nine months to restart the departmentâ€™s K9 unit, including a $10,000 grant from the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation. Mayor Brenda Davis said the community support and local business donations were instrumental in bringing back the unit, and city officials hope to expand it to two dogs by the end of the year.

â€œIf it werenâ€™t for the donations from the community, we wouldnâ€™t be able to have this special swearing-in ceremony,â€ Davis said. â€œHeâ€™s ready to be a police officer.â€
