NARRATIVE OF INCIDENT:
With today being National Dog Day, we here at SPD figured there's no better time to highlight the outstanding work of one particularly good boy: K9 Cash! Recently, K9 Cash and his partner seized over 4 pounds of narcotics before they were able to reach Springfield's streets.

The team located 4lbs of methamphetamine and over a quarter pound of fentanyl. As little as 2 milligrams of fentanyl is considered a lethal dose, so their work prevented countless possible overdoses and deaths. In total, the narcotics seized have an estimated street value of nearly $20,000.

K9 Cash, his partner, and the entire Springfield Police Department work tirelessly to prevent the distribution of these dangerous substances within our community.
