In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the retirement of a police canine, a procedure deemed standard within law enforcement. The canine, previously handled by Sergeant Tanner Aldman, is set to be officially retired and will remain with Aldman for continued care.
During the meeting, a motion was made to approve Resolution 2024-22, which declares the canine as surplus property. The resolution also includes provisions for the transfer of related equipment, such as a housing cage, to assist Aldman in caring for the retired canine. The motion received a second and was met with unanimous support from the attendees.
County Attorney Burton Harding confirmed the procedural nature of the resolution, emphasizing the importance of ensuring proper care for retired service animals. The meeting concluded with a clear consensus on the matter, reflecting the community's commitment to supporting its law enforcement personnel and their service animals.
