The Waynesboro Police Department has introduced Nala and Miki as two new additions to its K-9 team.

These two new additions to the team will give the Waynesboro Police Department three K-9 officers. Officer Matthew Danich and Cpl. Brandon Mawyer will work alongside longtime K-9 officer Jessie Shaver.

Nala, a labrador retriever, and Miki, a German short-haired pointer, were purchased from a generous donation from Nancy Harig.

Nala and Miki also received a medical kit given to them by an anonymous donor.

Both will be certified in narcotics detection and tracking, and will be assigned to the Patrol Division.
