His name is Conan and he is a Belgian malinois and German shepherd mix.

He was born in Hungary and is one and a half years old.

Conan replaces Ryker, a German Shepherd K-9 officer with seven years on the job. He just retired after a solid career of doing incredible feats for the Royal Oak Police Department (and even neighboring cities) like once sniffing out over a million dollars and 14 kilos of heroin in a single bust.

Officer Kevin Cavanagh will be his handler.

"The most important thing is we will start learning how to work together as a team," Cavanagh said.
