The Laguna Beach Police Department has a new member in its K-9 unit, as officials announced the addition of Bear, a 52-pound, 2½-year-old Belgian Malinois, to the department’s ranks on Tuesday. After the completion of a six-week training program, Bear will join Rudy, also a Belgian Malinois, on Laguna Beach’s police force, allowing the department to have a K-9 unit on patrol seven days a week. “Corporal Angeloni and K-9 Bear are a fantastic match and have already bonded as partners,” Laguna Beach Police Chief Jeff Calvert said in a statement. McGuire and his partner K-9 Rudy, these two teams will be an added layer of protection to the Laguna Beach community.” Angeloni, who joined the Laguna Beach Police Department in 2016, graduated from Cal Baptist University with master’s degrees in forensic and clinical psychology.
