OFFICER, K9 PARTNER HONORED FOR POT BUST

GREEN BAY - A Green Bay Police officer and his K9 partner were 
recognized at a state conference last month for a 26-pound marijuana bust.

Officer Jim Swanson and his partner, Buddy, received the Meritorious 
K9 Narcotics Find award at the annual Wisconsin Law Enforcement 
Canine Handler Association Conference in early October in Waukesha.

The two recovered the marijuana worth $41,000 in July, the police 
department said.

Swanson is a 27-year veteran of the department and is assigned to the 
detective division as a school resource officer, working in schools 
and the Brown County Drug Task Force.
