BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP, Michigan (WWJ) — Police in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, released bodycam video of one of its K9s helping officers locate a missing teen on Monday.
Police say Rollo, a 17-month-old Belgian Malinois/Shepard mix, is still new to the job but was put to the test. The video showed the dog leading an officer through the snow in a field. The dog was then seen bringing the officer to the side of a road, where police eventually located the teen walking.
Police say that because Rollo is new, “any change in environment can affect a track.” However, they praised the dog for still being able to complete the job, adding that he “powered through it like a beast.”
According to the police department, Rollo joined Bloomfield Township police in November 2025 as an explosive detection patrol dog.
He’s being honored at the Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees meeting.
