Meet Lucian, a 3-year-old Belgian Malinois who is the newest four-legged addition to the Braselton Police Department.

Lucian is starting a new chapter as he trains to become a working K-9 officer, trading in his previous life as a sport dog for a career in law enforcement.

Before joining the department, Lucian spent two years as a sport dog. Now, he’s putting those skills to work as he learns the ropes of his new job.

The Town of Braselton said Lucian is still getting his paws under him in his new role, but he’s already been doing a great job.

While he has some more training ahead, the department is excited to watch him learn, grow and become an important part of the team.

Lucian may be the new kid on the block, but he’s already making a paws-itive first impression.

The town shared photos introducing Lucian to the community and invited residents to help give him a warm Braselton welcome.
