K-9 Cruiser and New Grants |
|
The Strafford Police Department’s K-9 Unit received a 2000 Ford Crown Victoria from a donor who wishes to remain anonymous. The silver/gray cruiser has 60,000 miles and is fully equipped. K-9 Officer Randy Young is working with a local company to have the cruiser lettered and fully operational by late June. All maintenance and upkeep will be paid for through the K-9 fund supported by donations and drug forfeitures.
The Department has recently applied for and received two grants from the state. The first grant, in the amount of $2,250, will fund continuin Off Highway Recreational Vehicle (OHRV) patrols. The second grant, in the amount of $4,657, will completely fund an additional officer for DWI patrols on Friday and Saturday nights through the summer. The extra patrols have been in effect for the past few weeks and will continue through September 15.
