Officer Matt Cohen has worked with the Williston Police Department for over a decade. His most recent role is not one you often hear about. Ofc. Cohen is the handler for K-9 Duke, Vermont's first law enforcement comfort dog.
This episode dives into what its like being a K-9 handler for a comfort dog and what the program means to the community at large. Ofc. Cohen and I talk everything from origins of the program, training, how the program is used now and what the potential future of the program is.
