Council approves retirement of K-9 Tracker and appropriates police reimbursement funds
Summary
Council voted to retire K-9 Tracker after eight years of service and approved ordinance O25-45 to appropriate reimbursement funds for the Conway Police Department; both measures passed unanimously.
Conway City Council on May 13 approved the retirement and removal from inventory of K-9 Tracker after eight years of service and later adopted ordinance O25-45 to appropriate reimbursement funds for the Conway Police Department; both actions passed with unanimous council support.
The police chief reported Tracker’s record: eight years of service, participation in nearly 500 arrests and involvement in seizures of over $6,000,000 in illegal narcotics (as stated on the record). The chief said the department plans to retire Tracker to live with his handler. Council members expressed informal appreciation for the canine’s service; one council member asked for an invitation to a retirement event.
Later the council considered ordinance O25-45, described as the appropriation of reimbursement funds to be returned to the listed accounts of the Conway Police Department. The council moved and approved the ordinance unanimously.
Both items were presented as routine departmental matters and received no public opposition during the meeting.
