Nick and Niko conducted a demonstration for a class <br />of students at Edgewood Middle School and at Pinewood Elementary School. They were also <br />in attendance at the swearing in ceremony of our newly hired police officers. <br /> <br />In June, our K-9 team responded to 52 calls for service, two area searches and one meet and <br />greet demonstration. Officer Erickson and Niko participated in the annual Special Olympics <br />Law Enforcement Torch run. This is a charity event and several other officers joined them in <br />this event. <br /> <br />The K-9 team conducts daily trainings that include other Mounds View Officers so all are <br />accustomed to working with each other.
