K-9-GOLF8-8-2-09
Manteca Police Captain Charlie Goeken, left, and police officer Jason Hensley jokingly shakes hands as Hensley pretends that he won the truck on the fifth hole during the first annual Manteca Police Department K9Unit Golf Tournament.
The Manteca Police Officers K9 Association conducted a golf tournament Saturday at the Manteca Golf Course to help raise funds to defray expenses of the K9 officers. Over the years, the canines trained to assist officers have been praised as being the virtual equivalent of a second officer for back-up.
