Welcome Officer Grim to the Belmont Police Force

The new addition to the department is part of a gift.

The Belmont Police Department's newest member is expected to be dogged in his pursuit of the law.

Thanks to a generous anonymous donation, the Belmont Police Department has been able to implement its first ever K-9 program.

The doggie, named “Grim”, officially joined the force on Monday, March 11, and will be partnered with Belmont Officer Cory Taylor.
