Ferlo Announces Grant to Pittsburgh Police Department K-9 Unit

HARRISBURG, May 12, 2008 - - In response to the Pittsburgh Police Department’s tragic loss last week of Officer Aulf, a highly trained police dog, State Sen. Jim Ferlo (D-Pittsburgh) today announced that he has secured a $10,000 DCED grant for the Pittsburgh Police Department. The grant is intended to secure and train another dog in the K-9 Unit patrolling the streets of Pittsburgh as soon as possible.

Senator Ferlo said, “As we observed the memorial service for this valuable member of our local Police force this past week-end we are reminded of the valor and vital police protection we as citizens are provided on a 24 hour basis, in our homes and communities.” 

The funding can be used in any manner the Pittsburgh Police Department deems appropriate to secure, train, house and deploy a new police canine. Under state statute it is a felony in the third degree to torture, mutilate, injury, disable, poison or kill a police animal. This includes dogs as well as police horses.
