Salem City Police Department

05/15/2026

Today, we proudly recognize Officer Andrew McDonald and his K-9 partner Odin on their graduation from the New Jersey State Police Canine Training Academy. After months of intensive training, dedication, and hard work, Salem City Police Officer McDonald and K-9 partner Odin successfully completed Patrol Class #26 & Scent Class #41. Their achievement represents countless hours of discipline, teamwork, and commitment to protecting the residents of Salem City.

K-9 Odin now joins the Salem City Police Department as a highly trained police service dog capable of tracking, evidence recovery, narcotics detection, and assisting officers. The bond between a handler and K-9 is built on trust, loyalty and relentless training. Today’s graduation marks the beginning of that partnership in service to our city. We are proud of your dedication and look forward to the positive impact you will make for the City of Salem.

Congratulations Officer McDonald & K-9 Odin! 🐾🇺🇸🚔
