Muncie--Connections formed on the failed CBS series, "Armed and Famous" are now going to benefit the Muncie police department. Ozzy's son, Jack, has maintained an ongoing friendship with his former television supervisor, MPD Sgt. Jay Turner.

When Jack learned that Turner's 13 yr old K9 partner, Rover, needed to retire, he convinced his dad to donate $10,000 for the purchase of a new K9 officer. The dog's chosen new name? Ozzy, of course.

Rover, after serving for the police department since 2000, will now get to retire and protect Turner's family, instead if working the streets.

Ozzy, the new K9 officer, is being trained by Vohne Liche Kennels out of Denver, Ind., and should be ready to join the force soon.

It appears that the 3 yr old shepherd is not the only one to strike out into the police world. Apparently Jack Osbourne has picked up the law enforcement bug and has expressed a desire to join a California police department. Turner reports that Jack has helped out with the Muncie K9 training and that he has a real knack for law enforcement.

In the meantime, his connections to Turner, the Muncie PD and his father, are proving to be of great benefit to the Muncie community. The generous donation covers the purchase price of the dog and the added K9 officer protection will cost very little, if anything, to the taxpayers in that area.
