$7k Donated To Horsham K-9 Unit

HORSHAM, PA -- The Horsham K-9 unit is really getting off the ground quickly.

Just weeks after the unit was originally approved unanimously at a township council meeting, the township received a boost to the program from local industry.

The Horsham Township Industrial and Commercial Development Authority has contributed $7,000 to help the township’s first ever K-9 unit as it launches.

The Police Department plans to purchase an in-car dog kennel to help ensure safe travel for the Police K-9, the township said.

Another donation for our K9 Unit. Thank you to the Horsham Industrial and Commercial Development Authority.

The Horsham Police Department will be acquiring two Police Dogs in the coming months, officials said.

The dogs will then undergo training, which will mainly involve patrol duty as well as explosives and narcotics detection, according to Horsham ChATs.

Police are currently selecting K-9 partners for the dogs, and purchasing equipment needed for the hounds.
