The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Office thanks Dr. Caesar & Deanna DePaço of Summit Nutritionals International ® for their generous offer to donate a Police K9 to the agency.
Sgt. Patrick Harden is in training with the newest member of the Police Department.
The fifth police dog to serve Riverdale over the years, Elza is a 2-and-half-year-old Belgian Malinois that was born in the Republic of Slovakia, said Lt. James MacIntosh, Patrol Supervisor.
Riverdale was without a police dog of its own until this recent donation by Dr. Caesar DePaço and his wife, Deanna Paovani-DePaço, of Summit Nutritionals International Inc. ® in Branchburg, New Jersey.
After contacting the couple through Chris Engelhardt, who is a Hillsborough police K-9 Handler, Sgt. Harden drove to Indiana and picked out Elza from a trainer, said MacIntosh.
Harden and Elza are training with the Morris County Sheriff’s Department with the goal of using the K-9 for the narcotics detection and also for demonstrations to help educate children about the dangers of drug use.
They are expected to graduate in December.
“K-9 Elza will then be used to combat the growing drug problem by assisting officers with drug interdiction on the highways,” said MacIntosh in a press release.
