WBTV is reporting that the Kannapolis Police Department is welcoming a new K-9 officer to the ranks. Kaiyo, pronounced “kaay-iy-o.” is a German Shepherd. His name means “ocean” in Japanese. Kaiyo is settling into his home with Officer Jason West. They are busy training and learning how to be a K-9 team. He is a year old and when not working loves bully stick treats and zooming around his yard.
