The Eastern Michigan University Police Department has its first ever dog on the force. "Nitro" is a 75 pound Belgian Malinois that will turn 2 years old in April.
Nitro lives with and is trained by EMU police officer Bridget Bofysil. She says he eats a raw diet of meat, organ and bone. He is trained primarily in explosive detection but can also help in other searches.
Nitro is one of 3 trained police dogs in WashtenawCounty.
