Hiram – Corporal Devin Brown at the Hiram Police Department is expectantly awaiting the arrival of a new partner. While Brown doesn’t have a preference on whether his new partner is male or female, he’s certain his new partner will take a bite out of crime in local communities. Brown is fairly certain his new partner will be willing to work hard, upholding the reputation as man’s best friend. Brown is especially looking forward to training with his new partner, Hiram’s first K9 officer, this spring, but to reach that goal, the Hiram Police Department needs your help now.
The Hiram Police have partnered with Blue Line Unlimited, a nonprofit organization that provides assistance to families and law enforcement officers with benefits, training, education and necessary equipment. The organization is hosting an online raffle, with 100% of ticket sales to benefit Hiram’s K9 fund. Only 500 tickets are available at $20 each, for a chance to win one of four prizes — $500, $250, $150, and $100. To purchase simply visit https://bluelineunlimited.com/product/hiram-police-k-9-fundraising-raffle/. Once purchased, your E-Ticket will be sent via email. A live prize drawing will be held on March 1st on the Blue Line Unlimited Facebook page. Visit either the Hiram Police Department K9 Unit or Blue Line Unlimited Facebook pages for more information.
According to Cpl. Brown, the department is on track to have the necessary funding by March. “If we can sell 500 tickets by March 1st through this special program with Blue Line Unlimited, our K-9 program will receive $10,000!” he beamed. “This is an unbelievable act of kindness and we could not be more thankful for the generosity and support this organization has shown us! We are so grateful! Click the link to purchase your ticket at https://bluelineunlimited.com/.”
Cpl. Brown noted that Hiram’s future K-9 officer is currently being trained on narcotics, building search, criminal apprehension and article search. If everything proceeds as planned, Brown will be paired with a dog and begin training this spring. “Once I get into the training class, we’ll work together on obedience,” Brown noted, so that the new partners will learn to work effectively as a team. Once training has been completed and a patrol vehicle is equipped, the two officers will begin their working relationship within the community.
