Great work, ladies!

Last night, amidst wagging tails and barks of joy, we proudly welcomed K9 Kahn to our agency. But that's not all – the spotlight also shone on the incredible generosity of The Matt Haverkamp Foundation.
With immense gratitude, we issued a Proclamation to Nancy Haverkamp for the Foundation's extraordinary support of our canine program. The Foundation's $16,000 donation has not only funded K9 Kahn but also covered the entire cost of his specialized training.
The Foundation has poured over one million dollars into supporting over 100 police canines in the greater Cincinnati area.
Let's raise our voices in cheers and applause for The Matt Haverkamp Foundation – the unsung heroes behind our K9 program!
Your dedication to our safety is weaving a legacy of protection and service that resonates throughout our Township.
