The Police Department recently retired a police canine from duty and is working with a Gorham Maine based breeder to acquire a replacement canine. Over the past two years this breeder has provided trained police canines to the Portland, Freeport, Ellsworth and Presque Isle police departments. Staff recommends paying for the purchase out of state seizure funds, which is an allowable use. $8,000 is an amount not to exceed and any unexpended funds will be returned to the State Seizure trust account. On January 5, 2015, the Finance Committee reviewed and recommended this resolve to the full Council.
