Description of original award (Fiscal Year 2024, $21,368)

The Rome Police Department plans to acquire a new dual-purpose canine from a certified kennel within the United States. Following procurement, the canine will undergo training with the kennel to ensure both the canine and its handler are properly certified. After certification, the canine will be integrated into the department’s existing canine team. Additionally, a kennel will be installed at the handler’s residence, along with necessary support equipment. The new canine will seek certification through the North American Police Work Dog Association and/or the United States Police Canine Association before being deployed for field operations.
