Gwinnett city raises $10K to add police dog to force

The City of Snellville has raised $10,000 to add a new member to its police squad.

The Snellville Police Department already has three K-9 officers. A golf tournment last week brought in $10,000 of the $14,000 it will cost to add a fourth dog to the department.

The department’s K-9 unit was designed to have four officer-dog “teams.” After the recent retirement of one team, the department is planning to add a new one as soon as February 2018.
