    Cleveland Metroparks Ranger Department announced that one of its
    three police K-9s, Radar, recently received the Tracking Award from
    the German Shepherd Dog Club of Northern Ohio, Inc.



    The committee selected Radar because of his successful criminal
    search that aided Newburgh Heights Police Department in July
    2011.



    The Ranger K-9 Unit received a request from the Newburgh Heights
    Police Department to track two males who fled on foot after dumping
    a stolen vehicle. The suspects abandoned the vehicle and ran into
    Cleveland Metroparks Washington Reservation.



    K-9 Radar and his handler, Lieutenant Sean Flanigan, were
    dispatched to the area.  Radar was given the command to track
    and headed west through the reservation.



    After Radar tracked for over 1/5 mile and located two males
    matching the description hiding behind a tree, the Newburgh Heights
    police placed them both under arrest.



    This marks the fourth award Radar received from The German
    Shepherd Dog Club of Northern Ohio, Inc.  In 2004 and 2005, he
    received the Narcotics Detection Award and the 2006 award for
    Pursuit.



    �This is another good example of how the Ranger K-9 Unit
    provides quality services to not only park visitors, but also to
    the Greater Cleveland Community,� remarked Gregory M. Loftus, chief
    of rangers.
