Explanation

BACKGROUND:

Canine "Curly," a police dog was purchased by the Division of Police in October, 1998. "Curly" is being retired from active police service due to his inability to be trained for another police handler and because of his age. His current handler has accepted a new job.

It is recommended that "Curly" be donated to Police Officer Ronald Lanning, "Curly's" handler prior to accepting a new job. Officer Lanning can provide a good home to this canine that has served the citizens of Columbus for the past six (6) years.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This canine will have to be replaced in the Spring of 2005. Costs for a new canine plus training will cost approximately $10,000.00.
