Acquisition of police dogs for municipal police departments
Does anyone have any experience acquiring the services or obtaining ownership of police dogs? It would seem to be possible that a municipal police department may elect to acquire ownership, or may treat the supplying of police dogs owned by a service provider as a service. There may be a cooperative purchasing contract, given that the state police may have dogs.

For longer term consideration, compare our city which is fortunate that some (of these expensive) dogs are donated. If you can't find donors, another option (from our experience with police horses) is for a local group to organize a non-profit organization of volunteers who raise funds for purchase of the animals (again, some are donated, for example by local corporations and colleges), provide care (working with the officers) and to build/purchase facilities donated or leased to the city. The point is there are citizens with a passion and interest in such endeavors, and some are wealthy. The challenge is finding them. We found the (joint) venture received broad support and was driven primarily by the volunteers.

I suggest contacting the Conewango Township Police Department, in Warren County, Pennsylvania. They have a police dog and have quite a bit of experience with this. The Officer who has the dog is Officer Scott Neiswonger. The number for the Conewango Township Police Department is (814) 726-0725.
