Beach Haven’s newest officer stole the show at Monday’sborough council meeting, which is easy to do when you’re a very energetic1½-year-old Labradorretriever.

The police department introduced the public to its first K-9 member, “Jenner.” Capt. Tom Medel said the tan-colored male would be used primarily as a “bomb dog,” one who can sniff out explosives.

“People may ask why do we need a bomb dog in Beach Haven,” said Medel. “During the summer, we get big crowds, so you have to prepare for anything.”
