The Vancouver Police Department just got a little bigger, with the addition of three new canines "sworn in" on Wednesday.

Chief Const. Adam Palmer distributed the badges to four new members: German shepherds Talon, Carlo and Brando.

The newest graduates of the VPD's training program sported their badges as they stood with their handlers outside of a police station.

The dogs with jobs, and their handlers, were applauded in a 26-second video the VPD posted to its YouTube page after the ceremony.
