At 2 p.m. Friday at Franklin’s Police Headquarters, the Franklin Police Department will celebrate two graduating canines.
Jenks, assigned to Officer Brett Spivy, and Duke, assigned to Officer Kenneth Gibbs will both graduate training programs and will be officially ready to start working alongside their fellow FPD officers.
The four-legged officers have undergone an intensive, 28-week training program to prepare them for lives as canine crime-fighters. Jenks and Duke, 2-year-old German shepherds, both hail from Europe.
Jenks was named in honor of Trooper Calvin Jenks, murdered while protecting Tennesseans in 2007.
