Manitowoc Police Department K9 Unit Spring Bulb Sale

The Manitowoc Police Department's K9 program features two active police dogs, “Riley” and “Rolo,” both of whom are Belgian Malinois. Typically, the working lifespan of a police dog ranges from five to seven years. Additionally, our program is proud to have four retired police working dogs: “Aik,” “Ully,” “Major,” and “Neko.”

The K9 program was launched in 2010, and the K9 program has primarily been sustained through generous donations and grants. We aim to continue fundraising to support a multi-unit K9 team and to cover the daily operational costs associated with the program. The funds will be allocated for: Police vehicles, Essential equipment for the K9 units, Training and certifications necessary to ensure team effectiveness, and Miscellaneous expenses to support the program, such as food and medical/veterinary care.

Our objective is to maximize the impact of this incredible program within our community for years to come.

Thanks to some of our fundraising efforts, we have established a partnership with the Lakeshore Community Foundation by creating a preservation fund dedicated to further K9 program expenses.
