The Danville police department wants to add a pair of four footed helpers. The Public Services committee this week will discuss a plan to purchase two Police Service dogs and associated training and certification of the canines and canine handlers through an agreement with Midwest Profession Canine Services. The agreement would cost 33 thousand dollars.

The resolution says the police Canine Unit needs to replace previously retired Police Service Canines and handlers. The service Canines and Police Officers handlers will be professionally trained and certified to State and Departmental standards,

The Public Services committee will meet at 6 p.m. Tuesday at City Hall.
