“The employees have noticed, and now we’re ready to share it with the world.

A new K9 Memorial Stone has been placed near the K9 agility course on the main drag into the Dartmouth facility. It bears the names of all our retired four-legged officers over the years, from the very beginning of the program decades ago to today.

“This is something we talked about for a long time and it’s amazing to see it finally come to fruition,” Bristol County K9 Capt. Paul Douglas said.

We owe some big thanks to Liberty Utilities and the Van Sloun Foundation for the generous donations, and to Derek Morse and Matthew Albanese of Tootell Monument Works in New Bedford for helping with the stone. The plan is to invite all our former K9 handlers back to the facility in the spring for a dedication ceremony.
