The Newest MPD "Officer"

The Manchester Police Department will be adding a new "officer" to the force tomorrow.  Officer Archambault has been a long-time friend of MMES and is currently being trained to be a K-9 officer. A police dog will be joining the police force tomorrow to help the MPD do their work.  Officer Archambault reached out to our MMES fifth graders to have them help name the newest member of the police department.  And the winning name is...."KATO!"  Thanks to the MPD for including us and best of luck with the newest member of the force!
