DISCUSSION:
The Humboldt Deputy Sheriff's Organization (HDSO) is making a donation to the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) K9 Program in the amount of $53,021.00 (Attachment 2). This is made possible due to support from the Christine and Jalmer Berg Foundation. The donation is specifically for the K9 Program to enhance the program and is not intended to supplant or replace any other budgeted resources for the program. The HCSO K9 program has evaluated needs and is requesting the funds be used for outfitting K9 Patrol vehicles (which require specialized equipment over and above what is typical for a patrol vehicle), a new bite suit, case law update training, agitator school training, and training equipment.
