Trooper Bell and his partner Tilly graduated from eight weeks of specialized training in Cooperstown, NY. 

The State Police have been using bloodhounds since the 1930s. The bloodhounds specialize in the tracking of people, including missing persons.

His partner Tilly turns 1-year-old this month, and they both look forward to continuing the tradition of serving the Hudson Valley.
