Chief Brooks and the Norwood Police Department (NPD) were excited recently with their announcement of the arrival of their newest officer. The smallest and youngest member of the NPD is an 8 week old female golden retriever puppy. She comes highly recommended for her pawsitive people skills and passed her Good Girl background check with flying colors!

This new officer was sworn in by Chief Brooks on May 9 and got right to work showing off her cuteness capabilities. She will be assigned with School Resource Officer Baguma where the two will complete a Police “Pup” Academy. The two will undergo hundreds of hours of training before they are able to graduate and work within Norwood schools and the community to create peace and calm for whoever may need it. After completing her academy with SRO Baguma, she will be able to assist in de-escalating stressful situations and individuals in crisis with the goal of peaceful resolutions.

 When you see this pretty lady around Norwood, be sure to use her full name. Do not just address her as Sally, it’s Mustang Sally!

A big thanks to all in the Norwood Public Schools and local residents for their name suggestions and voting!

Stay tuned to learn more about Mustang Sally, Norwood Police Department’s newest recruit in next month’s issue!
