The department is asking the community to vote among three name choices: Lucky, Rocky, or Riley — in memory of Leesburg dispatcher Sherry Riley who died earlier this year.
The new K-9 is completing a handler course where he will be trained in patrol and explosive ordinance detection.
You can voice your favorite name by visiting the online survey. Voting closes on Thursday at noon.
