ENTER INTO AN AGREEEMNT WITH CANAM TACTICAL
TO PURCHASE A K-9 PATROL DOG
Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Enter into an agreement with CanAm
Tactical for the purchase of a trained patrol dog and training of a handler for the total sum of
$13,500.
Passage of this motion will result in the purchase of a Police Service Dog and training for a new
K-9 handler.
Overview
K-9 Zeus has developed health issues and was retired earlier this year after 6 years of service to
the City of Lakeville. The purchase of the requested K-9 would be a replacement for Zeus.
We have had experience with the vendor CanAm Tactical in the past and have been very happy
with the product that they provide. They currently are training a K-9, a one-year-old Belgian
Malinois, who is progressing very well and is reserved for the Lakeville Police Department.
Primary Issues to Consider
• The use of K-9 escrow funds from money donated to the K-9 program would be used for
this purchase, which would result in no impact on the current operating budget.
Supporting Information
• Contract with CanAm Tactical prepared by the city attorney.
