Long-haired shepherd to join Dells Police

When Wisconsin Dells Police K-9 officer Gevaar retires at the end of March the department isn’t expected to see a dip in the quality of its four-legged officer.

Eddie, a long-haired German shepherd who will be 2 years old when he starts in May, is one of the five best dogs his trainer in Campbellsport has ever worked with.

Much like Felon, the department’s first K-9, Eddie is a serious, hard-working dog, said Lt. Brian Landers, who was Felon’s handler.

“He’ll be sociable and able to walk downtown, but he has a lot of the same personality as Felon,” Landers said. “He’s a no-nonsense type of police dog, and that kind of dog you can’t put with just anybody.”

That’s one of the reasons why Chief Bret Anderson chose officer Scott Albrecht to be Eddie’s handler.
