Willard discusses adding a police K-9 unit; initial cost and training options outlined
Summary
City staff reported about $4,000 to outfit a cruiser for a K-9, $109 annual liability insurance, and that Huron County would provide dog and handler training at no cost; council discussed using sheriff K-9s when available.
Willard's Nov. 3 work session included discussion of adding a K-9 unit to the police department. The Chief of Police reported it would cost roughly $4,000 to outfit a cruiser for a K-9, and liability insurance for the unit would be about $109 per year. Staff said the Huron County Sheriff’s Office would train a dog and handler at no cost and that the cruiser outfitted for the K-9 could be used as a regular patrol car when the dog is not on duty.
Council members asked whether the city could use sheriff K-9s when available; staff said that could be an option. The work session record does not show a formal decision to purchase a K-9 or to establish a funding source; staff provided cost estimates and training options for future consideration.
