West St. Paul Police K9

Dogs Descend on Thompson Park for K9 Walk

Thanks to Cardinal Corner for their support.

The West St. Paul Police Department hosted the first ever K9 Walk at Thompson Park. The event invited residents and their dogs on a two-mile walk to support the two dogs on the West St. Paul police force, Cecil and Bear.

“I currently have been working with Cecil for almost two years and it is by far the best job there is,” said Officer Nicole Murphy, Cecil’s handler. “I literally get to take my dog to work everyday.”
