Exactly one week after the world watched the vital role that K-9 officers played in the capture of escaped inmate Danelo Cavalcante on Sept. 13, the Haverford Township Police Department officially introduced their newest K-9 Officer Winnie to her sponsors and the public.

The official introduction of Winnie couldn’t have been timed any better.

Being the new officer on the force wasn’t the only reason Winnie was the center of a lot of attention last week.

The 2-year-old black Labrador retriever was being introduced, for the very first time, to her co-sponsors, Steve Videon of Videon Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep & Ram and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and family.

“With Jason and Steve’s help, our department was able to acquire a new K-9 officer, with very minimal expense to the taxpayers,” Haverford Township Police Chief John Viola stated. “They are two well-respected community leaders who helped our department move forward in a big way.”
