A New K9 in Town

According to CBS 12 in Providence, there is a new narcotics-detection K-9 locally. Bristol County Sheriff Paul Heroux announced Friday that Officer Joshua Wunschel and K-9 Joni graduated from the detection academy. Joni, a 21-month-old German Shorthaired Pointer, is trained and certified to detect meth, crack, heroin and cocaine and has also been trained to locate missing or distressed individuals. Wunschel worked as a correctional officer in Dartmouth and New Bedford for nearly 11 years prior to joining the Bristol County Sheriff’s Office as part of the  K-9 Unit that ultimately teamed him up with Joni.
