Derby shares his time in the schools, the community, and special events and programs where he offers compassion and support to everyone he meets.
I’m K9 Liberty!
K9 Liberty, a black Labrador Retriever, joined the Department in 2023. She is certified as a Narcotics Detection Canine and works with Officer Jason Balzarini. Liberty serves Salem and surrounding communities to locate drug-related evidence.
I’m K9 Madden!
