Temple University students, faculty and staff are invited to learn more about the ProRanger Philadelphia Program — a partnership between Temple University and the National Park Service to train park rangers — on April 20.

ProRanger students and instructors will be joined in promoting the program by Ken Franklin, the “Bark Ranger,” a 5-year-old German Shepherd, K-9 Ranger and federal law enforcement officer at Independence National Historical Park.

Temple University’s K-9 unit, Baron, will also be on hand. Both dogs trained together in the Philadelphia Police Department’s 10-week training course approved by the U.S. Police Canine Association.
