ABOUT THE PROGRAM :
It takes a special dog with the right personality and learning capability to serve alongside police officers . Police dogs perform a variety of different tasks within the police department like catching criminals , drug detection , search and rescue and missing persons . Officers and their canine partners team together with the community to prevent and deter unlawful activities that leave our citizens and business owners victimized .
They also serve as ambassadors to strengthen public relations and opinions of the local law enforcement community . Much of the project work is complete , though we are left with a few rather large hurdles . The largest is the question of how to finance the program . We are asking for the start-up cost to effectively implement the K9 unit within the Waxhaw Police Department .
