Sheriff's office accepts K9 donations and renews MRAP agreement
Summary
The court accepted a $200 donation to the K9 program, approved acceptance of a philanthropist-financed K9 via the K9s for Cops program (estimated $20,000), and renewed the federal/state MRAP agreement allowing continued use of an armored vehicle; all motions passed unanimously.
The Harrison County Commissioners Court approved multiple sheriff's office items: acceptance of a $200 donation from David Thomas for the county K9 program, renewal of the state/federal agreement (LEO program) permitting continued use of an armored MRAP vehicle, and acceptance of a privately financed K9 through the K9s for Cops program to replace a retired dog.
Lieutenant Mays described how a philanthropist agreed to finance a replacement K9, including the dog and training (presenters estimated total cost in the neighborhood of $20,000). Commissioners thanked donors and accepted the awards; the MRAP agreement was renewed after staff said the loaned vehicle is audited annually by the federal program. All actions carried by unanimous vote.
