McGruff the Crime Dog
Thursday, March 27th, 2008Saltzer Medical Group and the Nampa Police Department unveiled Mobile McGruff yesterday at the Nampa Chamber of Commerce luncheon. Saltzer sponsored the crime fighting pooch, and we are so proud to have made this contributionn to the Nampa police. If you’ve never seen a mobile McGruff, he is quite a treat. He drives a car, plays music, moves his head, blinks his eyes and talks. And, as city coucil woman, Pam White, discovered, he also shoots water at all those in his way. Dr. Tom Patterson, who is the chair of our Business Development Committee made the presentation to Chief of Police Bill Augsburger. A few kids showed up to meet McGruff, and enjoyed their visit. One was mine, and she had a great time. I am sure if you are at any community events in Nampa this year you will be seeing McGruff, so if you get a chance, say hello to the newest Nampa cop, but stay out of his way, or you might get drenched like Pam!
