Lakeland Police K-9 Unit Receives Donation from Sam's Club

The Lakeland Police Department's K-9 unit received a $2,500 grant donation from the new Sam's Club in Lakeland earlier this week as part of their corporate Safe Neighborhood Heroes Grant program. The monies will go toward costs associated with replacing some of our aging K-9s. We recently had to purchase three new dogs due to medical and old age retirements, costs that we were not expecting in this budget year.

We welcome the new Sam's Club to the south Lakeland area and thank them for their generous grant donation to our K-9 program.
