JUSTIFICATION:
The requested dog food purchase is necessary to maintain the continued good health and physical
condition of the police service dogs.
HOW IS THIS ITEM GOING TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF SERVICE TO THE
CUSTOMER / CITIZENS?
The police service dogs enhance and supplement the police department's ability to locate and
apprehend dangerous felons. The dogs are used to search buildings, perimeters, etc., for suspects
who are fleeing or hiding. The dog's sensitive sense of smell allows them to detect and locate an
offender long before a human is able to, thereby reducing the risk to police officers in locating
and apprehending dangerous offenders.
