VAUGHN, NM (KRQE) - Vaughn, NM is a community of 450 with one special member; the only fully trained and certified member of the Vaughn Police Department , Nikka the police dog.
Nikka is a 1.5 to 3 year-old, fawn/brown Belgian Malinos with a dual purpose, to patrol and detect.
Earlier this year, the town borrowed $10,759 from the New Mexico Finance Authority to buy Nikka.
The canine order also includes a five day “Handlers Training course & Certification” for Chief Chris Armijo, which he has yet to attend. In order for a certified K9 to achieve and maintain working knowledge of their training, ongoing instruction with the dog is imperative.
