The Radford City Police Department is looking for the public’s help in naming its newest addition to the department.
“We are inviting the community to help name the newest officer that has joined the Radford City Police Department,” the department recently announced. “This handsome male K9 is a 15-month-old Belgian Malinous from the Netherlands. This excited pup will begin training with his handler in October but first needs to learn his name before training.”
Citizens have until this Friday, Sept. 24, at 5 p.m. to enter the naming contest. Follow the QR code on the photo or link to submit your suggestion for a name to https://corexmsr52jgkmlbpj7l.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_0xfBClGx0ssrs7c.
The police department also announced it could use some donations to the K9 program.
“We have been asked by several citizens how they could donate to the K-9 Program,” the department’s announcement reads. “If you are interested in helping us sustain our K9 Unit with all the necessary equipment, training, and medical costs, donations can be made by sending personal or corporate checks.”
Send donations to the following address and note in the memo section that this is a donation for the K9 Unit: Radford City: Radford City Police Department c/o Cindy Carroll, 20 Robertson St., Radford, VA 24141.
