(Michigan City, IN) - The Michigan City Police Department is raising money to restore its K-9 program.  Police say there are 49 advertising spaces available in the K-9 program’s 2021 calendar and each space costs $200.

Police say one of the K-9 officers is unable to continue being a K-9 handler due to some “unfortunate circumstances.”  As a result, the calendar for the K-9 program was brought back into production, and proceeds from the advertising sales will go toward the over $8,000 cost of training a new K-9 handler.

Police say donations are also being sought to help fund K-9 training, K-9 demonstrations and other aspects of the program especially since economic conditions from the impact of coronavirus are so tight.
