Odin hangs up his badge

A number of people were on hand Friday, May 1 as Rhinelander Police Department K9 officer Odin has his retirement ceremony at Rhinelander City Hall. “Odin has been a member of our department for nearly eight years with his first day on the road being September 24, 2018,” the Rhinelander Police Department posted on its Facebook page. “Since then, Odin has helped apprehend dangerous individuals, locate lost and missing people, alerted to countless pounds of illegal contraband and thousands of dollars in U.S. currency linked to illegal drugs along side his handler, Captain Chad Brown.” Pictured, Odin and Brown share the spotlight during Friday’s ceremony.
