Meet Henry, the newest member of the Ada police force

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, December 14, 2015

By Monty Siekerman

Henry means "ruler of the house." In Ada, that "house" is the local police department.

Henry, a 19-month-old German shepherd, is the new addition to the local force...and he rules that house with his friendliness. But one druggie thought otherwise.

Henry has been on the police force for only a month, but he has helped apprehend one suspect who will be charged with using illegal drugs.

But leading police to drugs is not his only job. For example, he is trained to search for articles like tossed wallets and guns, search a suspect or location, and protect his handler.
