POLICE DOG FOR MONTEREY COUNTY JAIL JG

A DONATION FROM A LOCAL SERVICE CLUB MAY ENABLE THE MONTEREY COUNTY SHERIFF?S OFFICE TO ADD A CANINE MEMBER TO THEIR ROSTER. THE CARMEL-BY-THE-SEA ROTARY CLUB, ALONG WITH OTHER ROTARY CLUBS, HAS DONATED 30 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO THE SHERIFF?S OFFICE FOR THE FIRST YEAR OF TRAINING FOR A POLICE DOG. SHERIFF MIKE KANALAKIS PLANS TO ASSIGN THE DOG TO THE COUNTY JAIL IN SALINAS TO SEARCH FOR NARCOTICS LIKE COCAINE AND METHAMPHETAMINE AMONG INMATES. THE SHERIFF HOPES THE NEW DOG WILL BE IN PLACE IN A FEW MONTHS. IT IS EXPECTED THAT THE DOG?S EXPENSES AFTER THE FIRST YEAR WILL BE COVERED BY THE SHERIFF?S OFFICE.
