Fundraiser for K-9 Bo
Richmond, Indiana Police Deparment K-9 Unit
In Officer Glover's own words:
"My name is Officer Scott Glover, and I am a K-9 Officer for the city of Richmond, Indiana. I have had my partner Bo, since July of 2016. Bo is a 2 yr old Belgium Malinois, and is one of the best dogs I have ever worked with. I have handled multiple dogs as a canine handler in the Marine Corps, and while working overseas as a consultant. I could not be more proud to be working with such a great canine. I am writing this letter in an attempt to obtain a Ballistic vest, and Hot-and-Pop system for Bo, as I wish to keep him as safe as possible while working. My department’s canine section is currently made up of two other handlers and myself. Our department does not fund the canine section so we must rely on grants and donations to equip and fund these great assets. I want to thank you for your time and consideration in possibly donating these items so that I can help to do my part in protecting Bo while he protects not only me but, my fellow Officers."
Officer Glover and Bo serve the city of Richmond Indiana which has a popultion of approx 37,000 residents. They are routinely called to assist other agencies and even into Ohio and Interstate 70.
They have reached out to us for a much needed Hot N Pop system as well as a Ballistic Vest, First Aide and Trauma Kit.
Officer Glover believes having the Door popper alone would be higly valuable as he can get Bo out of the vehicle with just a push of a button on his person to release him from the Vehicle, in situations that Officer Glover may be in grave danger. The Heat Alarm is vital for Bo's safety. The Hot, humid Indiana summers are brutal on our K9s.
Officer Glover tells us that most, if not all, the departments K9 needs comes from the Handlers pockets and they also rely on grants to help them operate the unit as well as attend recertification, conferences and their Vet bills.
This is NOT unusual with K-9 Units. I wish it was not the norm, but it is. That's just a fact across the country.
I hope you will join us in assisting this VERY special Team!
