Hackettstown K-9 Unit Gets $2,000 Grant

HACKETTSTOWN, NJ - Aftermath Services LLC awarded the Hackettstown Police Department with a $2,000 grant after the department came in 4th place in Aftermath’s annual K9 Grant.

Each year, Aftermath awards grants to law enforcement agencies to improve existing K9 programs or help create new ones by providing financial support for safety equipment, training, and other expenses associated with maintaining a K9 unit.

Aftermath’s 10th Anniversary K9 Grant involved nearly 400 nominated agencies. Communities nationwide supported them by casting over 484,000 votes from October 23rd through November 3rd via the company’s website and Instagram page. Due to the overwhelming support from local communities across the country, a total of $22,000 in grants were awarded this year, with Hackettstown PD receiving the 4th-largest prize of $2,000.

Aftermath will present the $2,000 check to the Hackettstown Police Department at the Hackettstown Municipal Building, located at 215 West Stiger St, at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday.
