ARKANSAS
MEETING OF MARCH 7, 2017
TO: Mayor Lioneld Jordan and City Council
FROM: Mike Reynolds, Deputy Chief of Police
DATE: February 17, 2017
SUBJECT: Police K-9 Replacement
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a budget adjustment for a new K-9 Officer and
attendance to K-9 handier school in the amount of $12,000.
BACKGROUND:
Asko, a K-9 Officer, has begun to show signs of aging, stress, and was recently
diagnosed with arthritis in his back and legs. The.Department encourages planning for his
retirement in the near future. On -duty activity and training for a K-9 Officer is demanding and
strenuous. Due to Asko's age and size, he could jeopardize his long term health if we did not
plan for his retirement now. Asko -has served our community with honor and distinction for over
five years and should be retired within the next year.
DISCUSSION:
Our K-9 Officer Unit is a valuable and necessary component of our department. Our K-9
Officers perform many community demonstrations and outreach programs to build positive
public relations. Furthermore, they provide law enforcement support in narcotics detection,
clearing of structures, searches, and apprehension of suspects. For these reasons, it is
important to maintain our K-9 Officer Unit at its current level. Staff projected Asko's retirement
with $12,000 requested in the 2018 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) funding. However, we
find it necessary to move his replacement up one year.
BUDGETISTAFF IMPACT:
Staff proposes reducing funds budgeted in the 2017 CIP Police Unmarked Vehicle
project and replenishing this project with 2018 CIP requested funds for Police K-9 Replacement.
There is no human staffing impact associated with this budget adjustment.

Unmarked Vehicle and replenish in 2018.
