Noblesville resident Sandra Farr is donating $15,000 to the Noblesville Police Department to assist the K-9 program in purchasing and training a new dog. Farr said the donation is due to her love of animals and a way to support the community.
The NPD K-9 Unit is a tremendous asset because of the dog’s extraordinary sense of smell and ability to be obedient to its police handler. The K-9 Unit provides a number of services to the community and can often be found not only working in a law enforcement-related capacity but also providing educational classes to groups ranging from school-aged children to senior citizen groups.
Whether locating a large amount of narcotics in a vehicle, tracking and apprehending a suspect, searching for a missing child or locating hidden explosives, police K-9 units will remain an invaluable part of law enforcement’s obligation and mission to keep communities safe.
The NPD K-9 Unit is comprised of Patrolman Brandon Brooks and K-9 Nancy, Patrolman Alex Linn and K-9 Bonnie and Patrolman Evan McClain.
