New Canaan Police Raise Money for K-9 Program

Editor’s note: We previously ran this story, but here it is again in case you missed it.

New Canaan Police are asking for donations to keep its K-9 program running.

The program is run solely on corporate and private donations, said Officer David Rivera, K-9 handler.

Rivera and K-9 partner Apollo have made numerous narcotic arrests since July 2015. They also have assisted in search and rescue tracks for missing persons. The team also assists nearby towns when needed.

The goal is to raise money for a new K-9 that will be trained in narcotics. It will likely be a Labrador Retriever or German Shepherd.

A GoFundMe has been set-up for donations. So far $3,000 has been raised.

Donations can also be sent to the following address.

New Canaan Police Department
(Attn: Ofc. David Rivera)
174 South Ave.
New Canaan CT 06840.
Please make checks payable to the
NEW CANAAN POLICE DEPT K-9 FUND.
