K-9 Apollo Joins Naperville Police Department

NAPERVILLE, IL — The Naperville Police Department (NPD) recently welcomed a new member. Two-year-old Malinois K-9 named Apollo works alongside Officer Peter Konow as he patrols the city, looks for missing persons and suspects, conducts searches and works on narcotics investigations.

Apollo was trained by the K-9 Hudson Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit that trains and equips K-9s before pairing them with local police departments. The K-9 started working this summer and is described as a "very high energy and athletic dog who is always looking to work," per a post on the NPD Facebook page.

Apollo's joins a force of three other K-9s working with the Naperville Police Department: German Shepherd Dax, Labrador Retriever Riggs and Labrador Retriever Scout.
