Recently a new "member" was added to the ranks of the West York Boro Police Dept. "Prince" a pure-bred Bloodhound was sworn in by District Judge Jennifer J.P. Clancy. Prince will be working with his handler, Officer Scott Musselman, in crimminal investigations, missing persons, and child abductions. For Scott, an 11 year veteran of the dept., this is his first time working with a dog. Both Scott and Prince are undergoing extensive training as a team; Prince will only work with Scott as his handler. Since becoming a member of the dept. Prince and Scott live, eat, and sleep together. Presently Scott and Prince work 1-2 days a week together on patrol, both learning about each other and what is expected from them. When the team is fully trained they will be available to offer assistance to other police departments in York County.
