City of Loves Park Police Department issued the following announcement on Jan. 12.
While on Patrol, K-9 Handler, Sergeant Erik Meadors and K-9 Rico made their usual rounds, starting with Rock Cut State Bark, where Rico got out to chase a toy or two. After the State Bark, they resumed patrols, cruising south down Bell School Rd. and hit the hotel barking lots, including a drive through the Howl-a-Day Inn barking lot.
As patrols resumed, they pulled into the barking lot of the new car wash on E. Riverside Blvd., Extreme Clean Express Car Wash, where K-9 Rico realized the business also had a dog wash station, so he wanted to give it a try.
K-9 Rico gave the dog wash a round of appaws, but all clean and fresh, Rico got right back on patrol, so he could be at your bark and call.
