Rookie cop

Meet one of the newest members of the Hoboken Police Department. I don't know which of the new four-footed officers this is, but there are three, and they're currently undergoing training before they begin to patrol our streets. Meanwhile, on the water, we have the U. S. Coast Guard, now part of the vast Department of Homeland Security, which will be conducting National Combating Terrorism exercises beginning May 12 with a "simulation of how the nation would respond in the event of a weapons of mass destruction (WMD) attack." The U.S. and Canadian governments as well as cities, counties and states, along with the American Red Cross will participate. The Red Cross has already been through much more than a drill this past week, what with all the tornadoes this week, and is pleading for donations.
