10 grand for a K9 unit? What requirements does the dog have to meet to fetch that kind of money? If there is a market for it, I'd be interested in getting into it.

What a wonderful addition to an already outstanding department of Officers. Perhaps once this K-9 unit demonstrates it's success, another unit can be added. Hopefully Janesville citizens will appreciate the value of this team and allow another K-9 to be budgeted for...let's see, no wages, no vacation time, no worker's compensation, no overtime, and the list goes on. The costs incurred for upkeep of the K-9 officer is far less than the adminstrative cost for a human officer.

You can say that again. You can say that again.

It's about time that Janesville is getting their "drug force" together instead of using Beloit's K-9 unit all the time.

I thinks that having a K-9 unit will enhance the police force, and knowing that the tax dollars did not have to be used makes it a "WIN-WIN" situation.
I Know for a fact that this story will come under some bad reviews by some people, and some will make stupid comments to undermine the reasoning of the decision to have one (a K-9 unit)..
But after living and working in a Large city and seeing demonstrations from someone who trained them, they are needed even in JVL..
good luck to "Officer Karo" and his partner (and his new family)
