Randolph County K9 Unit

The purpose of this fundraising effort is to obtain funds to purchase a police canine for the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office. The Randolph County Sheriff’s Office serves an area that is approximately 430 square miles. We currently have one canine handler assigned to the K9 Unit, and are in need of another. Our county has two major highways that intersect, and is a drug trafficking hotspot which is a major problem that K9’s help combat.

Canine teams play a vital role in crime prevention, evidence recovery, and suspect apprehension. Specifically, police canines have the ability and are utilized to track humans, search for and locate drugs, as well as search for and locate evidence. Currently we are unable to afford the purchase of another police canine. Recent quotes have shown the average price of a quality police canine to be approximately $9,500.00, not including training for the handler and canine, canine equipment, and other various costs throughout the canine's career. The funds obtained through this fundraiser would be used towards the purchase and training of the police canine.

Thank you for your time and support!
