Lincoln Township K9 Fundraiser

Donation protected
As you may have already heard, the Lincoln Township Police Department is engaged in a fundraising effort to purchase and equip a K-9 Unit.

Through prior experience and research, we have found that a K-9 Unit can be one of the most cost-effective tools a department can have at it’s disposal.  Use of a dog when searching a building significantly enhances officer safety, as well as requiring less time to do a more thorough search of the building.  The K-9 Unit reduces the risk of injury to officers and offenders since, in most instances, the person(s) challenged by the dog will readily submit to arrest versus choosing to resist.  Also, acute senses of hearing and smell enable the dog to locate lost or hidden persons, property, and narcotics.


In the past few years, K-9 Units have also become popular in area schools.  The K-9 is used for demonstrations as well as conducting locker and vehicle checks on school property, which help to keep our schools safe and drug free. 

 In light of the fact that a K-9 Unit would serve Lincoln Township in many useful ways, we invite our community residents, businesses and organizations to join us in this fundraising effort with a donation toward the K-9 Unit. All amounts, large and small, are very much appreciated.

If we are not able to meet the $25,000 goal by February of 2019, the funds will instead go toward capital improvements and community service at the Lincoln Township Police Department.

Note:  Donations made through this GoFundMe campaign are not eligible for 501(c)(3) charitable tax credits.  For details, please contact Lincoln Township Police Department or Township Hall.
