ANNOUNCEMENTS
WE HAVE A LONG-AWAITED PRESENTATION TONIGHT TO RECOGNIZE GREAT SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY. WE HAVE HAD A POLICE OFFICER WHO TOOK ON EXTRA RESPONSIBILITY OF SEEING TO A K-NINE OFFICER. WE HAD HIM TO SNIFF OUT DRUGS AND TO DETER PEOPLE FROM COMING INTO OUR COMMUNITY WITH DRUGS. THE CHIEF WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A PRESENTATION.
CHIEF HANSEN STATED I WANT TO PRESENT THIS CERTIFICATE TO K-NINE OFFICER VAUGHN AND OFFICER MIKE DUNLOP. ITS BEEN MY PLEASURE TO HAVE THEM WORK HERE TOGETHER. VAUGHN IS GETTING ON IN YEARS AND IS RETIRING. HE MADE A LOT OF DRUG ARRESTS. WE HAD REPORTS THAT DRUG DEALERS WENT AROUND OUR VILLAGE BECAUSE THEY KNEW WE HAD A DRUG DOG. MIKE REALLY WANTED THIS DOG AND ACTUALLY WENT OUT AND DID A LOT OF FUND RAISING BY HIMSELF IN ORDER TO RAISE THE FUNDS FOR THE DOG. HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE FUNDS WILL BE AVAILABLE AGAIN. JUST WANT TO PRESENT THEM WITH A CERTIFICATE AND A BAR FOR HIS SHIELD. MIKE HAD TO TAKE CARE OF VAUGHN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS A DAY. CONGRATULATIONS.
MAYOR DWYER STATED WE WANTED TO GIVE OFFICER DUNLOP AND VAUGHN A CERTIFICATE FROM THE VILLAGE AS WELL.
