Police Canine "Millow" has been serving the Morgan City Police Department since 2023. He is a Dutch Shepard partnered with Officer Clayton LaPoint. Millow was purchased from K-9 Concepts in Lafayette, LA. Millow is trained in Criminal Apprehension, Odor Detection, Tracking, and Area Searches. He is trained to detect Marijuana, Methamphetamine, Cocaine, and Heroin. A police detection canine is a valuable asset to law enforcement both as an investigative tool but can also be a deterrent.
The Morgan City Police Department utilizes police canines, which have been specially trained in crime scene search, suspect apprehension, and detection of narcotics. Utilization of canines provides a higher level of police response, and helps to reduce crime in our city, and additionally reduces danger for our citizens and police employees.
