A K9 can be a force multiplier for a police department, adding numerous facets to law enforcement options when they’re patrolling the streets.

But a big problem is the cost associated with a k9 program, not just the cost of the dog, which is substantial, but the ongoing training and veterinary costs.

In this episode, I speak with Nancy Haverkamp and Heather Lane from the Matt Haverkamp Foundation.

Matt was a K9 officer in a small community outside Cincinnati. He was killed in an off-duty car accident in 2005 and to keep his memory alive, his family and friends started the Foundation which provides dogs, gear, and training for K9 units.
