Justice (born c. 2010) is one of two German shepherds currently used by the Homewood Police Department. His handler is Officer Jeremiah Mote.
Justice and another German shepherd arrived from Kentucky on April 2, 2012. They originated from Germany and the Czech Republic. After their arrival, both dogs were trained to smell narcotics, work on patrol, and apprehend suspects at the Huntsville Police Department in Madison County.
A naming contest for the dogs was open to Homewood elementary students. "Justice" was submitted by Ahlam Saleh, a fifth-grader at Hall-Kent Elementary School. For her winning entry, she won a stuffed German shepherd, a framed certificate with a picture of Justice, and a scooter.
