On Friday, May 3rd, Merchantville School had the honor of hosting the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office, who took the time to read to our amazing first and second graders. Not only did they inspire our young minds with stories, but they also brought along their K-9 unit star for an unforgettable visit. The K-9 Unit is available to all law enforcement agencies in Camden County and surrounding counties. The canines are patrol/tracking dogs: three are cross- trained for explosive detection, and two are cross-trained for narcotics.
The Canine Unit is a proud member of the United States Police Canine Association (U.S.P.C.A.) Region #6, Philadelphia Police Canine Unit/Training Academy and has won national awards and provided services to various federal, state and local agencies, including presidential security details.
Thank you to the Camden County Prosecutor’s Office for enriching our students' learning experience and fostering a love for reading and community engagement.
