Today is the second day of the 2026 Brewster Police Department Police Youth Academy for children. During the Youth Academy the children get a tour of the Police Station and there are programs put on by members of the department where the kids learn what we do.
Today’s program was on Animal Control. I did a power point presentation on what Animal Control does, the types of rescues we do, and on being kind and humane to all animals. Then we took the kids outside to see the Animal Control Vehicle and equipment. My own dog, a Labrador Retriever named Ryder, came to work with me today and I used him to demonstrate pet safety. I showed the kids how to locate a microchip in a dog and explained how microchips work to help lost animals get home. Ryder put on a small obedience, scent work and agility demonstration and interacted with the kids. Everyone had a great time!
