We met Officer Hansen and Odin last month during National Night Out at Rengstorff Park. It was fun to hang out with them casually and chat under a shady tree. They make a dynamic duo - thank you (both) Officers for keeping our community safe and for caring about the safety and welfare of the MV community.

Nice local story. Nice to know there are dedicated officers patrol our streets at night.

Hansen is the cop I want handy when I need one. Smart humane and tough. Yup that's the combo best suited to "Serve and Protect".

BOYS! on the force... take note.

Gosh I'd love to do a ride along just once to experience being in that glass bubble with someone as skilled as this. I bet I'd learn a lot.

It's like shooting fish in a barrel when you're on the night shift. Usually just the bad guys are out there at that time. Meth busts in the dead of night? Shocking ;) Glad she's out there doing it though, that's for sure.

Saw her and her dog really hustling to help catch a criminal who was running through our neighborhood a few years ago. She seemed to be a little too old then for the effort she put in and some younger officers might not have been able to keep up. Hard work and dedication. Sounds like she's had a good career at the PD. Hope the years of retirement reward her for all the good work. I'm jealous that she gets to work with a dog all day. That's my type of working partner. Good luck in the future and thanks for your service Dorene!
