Meet Maggie, a 3-month old Bloodhound.

Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden says this dog will be highly trained in tracking suspects and missing persons.

Sheriff's Officer Elizabeth Imbriacco is Maggie's handler. This is the Monmouth County Sheriff Office's first female K-9 Officer!

Maggie will be the second Bloodhound in the Sheriff Office's canine fleet. We introduced you to Sky when we had the privilege of meeting her on the Asbury Park Boardwalk. Despite looking sweet, make no mistake: Sky and now Maggie are here to catch the bad guys!

Sheriff Golden says that in 2019, the Monmouth County Sheriff Office K9s and handlers responded to 241 explosive detection calls, 211 tracking calls, and 207 narcotics calls.

These dogs are nothing short of amazing! Welcome to the unit, Maggie!
