As part of a wider ceremony for the Falls Church Police Department at the Council chambers of City Hall Thursday morning, the department swore in its first police dog to join the force in a half-dozen years. “Fitz,” a young German shepherd, was attentive as he allowed his handler to provide the required vows as his proxy.

In addition, two new two-legged officers were sworn in and others in the department were provided promotions by Chief Mary Gavin.
