The RCMP is looking to the public to help name their next batch of 13 German Shepherds born at the Police Dog Service Training Centre.
The chosen names will be given to the next generation of police dogs currently under training in Innisfail, Alberta.
RCMP is laying out the following contest rules to name the puppies:
- Names must begin with the letter “N”
- Names must have no more than 9 letters

The 13 contest winners and the winning names will be announced on Wednesday, April 29, 2020, on the RCMP’s website and social media. All of the children whose names were selected will receive an 8×10 photo of the puppy they named, a plush dog named Justice and an RCMP water bottle.
