K-9
Hermantown Police Department established the first k-9 in the history of the Department in 2005. The dog, Nero, a 5 year old male sable German Shepherd was imported from the Czeck Republic . The dog and handler initially completed 400 hours of POST training thru North Metro K-9 Association . The dog has successfully certified thru the USPCA (United States Police Canine Association) in Narcotic detection and Criminal Apprehension. This certification is continued on a yearly basis.
