The Upper Providence Township Police welcomed a new furry friend recently. Argo is a 1- 1/2 year old black lab who will be handled by Cpl. Jason Gerhart (a 15 year veteran of the Police Department). In between agility training and hanging with the police force, Argo will be utilized for evidence recovery, tracking and narcotics. The pup was trained for Scent Detection at the Penn Vet Working Dog Center. Argo is not trained for apprehension (he is not trained to bite) and is a playful but well-behaved pup when not working. The Police Department thanks Audubon Land Development who donated funds towards the K-9 program in UPT.
There are many benefits of having a K-9 Unit in the township.
If you see Argo around town, say "hi" and thank him for servicing the community of Upper Providence Township.
