Koda and his handler Officer James Loomer completed two months of training receiving certification in narcotics detection and patrol work.
Koda is a Belgian Malinois from Hungary and is 18 months old.
He arrives thanks to a recent fund-raising effort that brought donations to the town's K9 Unit.
With the help of those contributions, the unit was able to purchase Koda, as well as a new patrol vehicle for his service.
The vehicle comes equipped with the latest kennel system including a heat monitoring system that detects if the temperature in the vehicle is too hot.
The system automatically rolls down the windows, activates a fan affixed to the side of the kennel, and alerts the handler via siren, and pager.
The police department held a "name the dog" contest, and the local youth who came up with the name Koda will be honored in a ceremony on Monday.
