It's National Dog Day! Some dogs fetch tennis balls. Some dogs sleep all day. These dogs have slightly more important jobs. Happy National Dog Day to our hardworking K-9s and the officers who work alongside them every day! We hope you get extra treats today!

A good reminder that there are plenty of positive stories happening in our neighborhoods every day, they just don’t always make the headlines.

We love this one. A lemonade stand, a young entrepreneur and a St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department officer taking a few minutes to make his day.

For all who are tired of the torrent of negative news we're subjected to day after day, I have a feel-good story to tell.

Police officers from SLMPD’s North Patrol stopped by Hamilton Elementary to deliver donuts to teachers and staff. Just a small way to say thank you to the people who do so much for our kids and our community.

We may be a little biased, but we think Captain is pretty special!

We are incredibly grateful to our donors and community partners who make projects like this possible. Captain is just one example of what can happen when our community comes together to support the men and women of the SLMPD.

Congratulations to SLMPD K-9 Finn and Officer Brian Eisele on an incredible accomplishment!

The duo recently earned the Overall Championship ("Top Dog") at the AMPWDA K-9 Police Nationals in Atlanta, competing against elite police K-9 teams from across the country. The title recognizes excellence across multiple disciplines, including obedience, tracking, searches, and protection work.

This achievement is a testament to the countless hours of training, dedication, teamwork, and trust between handler and K-9.

We are proud to celebrate Officer Eisele and K-9 Finn for representing St. Louis on the national stage and bringing home the championship. Congratulations on a job well done!

🏆🐾 Congratulations to SLMPD K-9 Finn and PO Brian Eisele! 🐾🏆

The St. Louis Police Officers Association is proud to congratulate SLMPD K-9 Finn and his handler, Police Officer Brian Eisele, on winning the Overall Championship (Top Dog) at the American Mantrailing, Police & Work Dog Association (AMPWDA) K-9 Police Nationals in Atlanta, Georgia.

The "Top Dog" title is awarded to the team that excels across every phase of competition, including obedience, tracking, article searches, and bite work. Competing against elite police K-9 teams from across the country, Finn and Brian rose to the top and brought the championship home to St. Louis.

Finn's story is as unique as his accomplishment. Bred in Denmark, he traveled internationally before joining the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department and even required a passport to enter the United States. Like many European working dogs, Finn responds to commands given in Dutch.

And speaking of passports, the full name on his passport is Huckleberry Finn.

Which means the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department employed both Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. 😳😂

One is a retired police officer and co-host of our partners at The Brighter Side of Blue Podcast.

The other just won a national K-9 championship.

Mark Twain would probably get a kick out of that.

In all seriousness, this achievement represents countless hours of training, discipline, teamwork, and trust between handler and K-9. Brian and Finn have made the entire department and community proud.

Please join us in congratulating PO Brian Eisele and K-9 Finn on this incredible accomplishment.

👏🐾 Congratulations, gentlemen! St. Louis is proud of you👍💙
