Portland CT Police Dept. K9 Unit

The Portland, CT Police Department is looking for assistance in raising funds in support of a K9 program.  The department has been without a work dog since our last handler retired.  Sgt. James Kelly, a 22 year veteran has been selected as the Department's next K9 officer and is expected to start training in October 2016.  The K9 will be patrol and narcotics certified.  Funds raised will be used for the purchase of a police German Shepard, cost of training and equipment.  A K9 unit is an extremely valuable asset to our Police Department which aids in protecting our community.  This is a large cost for our small department to cover and we are hoping the public's generosity will get us to our goal.  Thank you in advance for your support.
