MELROSE, MA — Meet Giselle. The Labrador Retriever is the newest member of the Melrose Police Department, and she doesn't have a cushy job. Giselle is the force's new explosives detection K9. She graduated from Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' Explosive Detection Canine Program last month and is paired with her handler, Officer Sean Morris. "Giselle may look like a cute, young dog — and she is — but she is also a highly-trained member of the Melrose Police Department who will contribute to public safety in Melrose and the entire region as she puts her skills to work protecting the community," Chief Mike Lyle said. "We are excited to welcome Giselle and her important skillset to our department." Giselle will work for the department, the ATF and other local law enforcement agencies, helping search crime scenes, sweeping for explosives and more.
