INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department's K-9 department is growing again.

The department introduced their newest member, K-9 Sonitrol, at a celebration Friday morning. Sonitrol was named after the company who donated money for his purchase.

Sonitrol is a 16-month-old Shephard-mix and will begin his official training on Monday with his partner Officer Scott Hartman.

Sonitrol will bring IMPD's K-9 department up to 24 teams.
