The Brookfield Police Department is getting a new member.  K-9 Argo is joining the Brookfield Police Department.  Last month the Department's K-9, Bruno, passed on having recently retired due to illness.   Sergeant Jeff Osuch has agreed, once again, to be the K-9 partner.  First Selectman Steve Dunn says they honor Bruno's work, and thank his handler for all they have done for the town. 

Long-time residents Ruth and Warren Malkin made a donation of $12,500 to pay for the new K-9.  At the Board of Selectmen meeting tonight the couple is being thanked for their generosity. 

The Board will also thank artist Rachael Chandler, who runs a pet portrait business called 4 Paws and a Paintbrush.  She recently presented a painting in memory of Bruno to his handler. The portrait will hang at Brookfield Town Hall.
