Cops Seek Help With K9 Unit as Training Ends

 

The newest member of the police force is just about ready to fully join the squad.

But his commanding officers are looking for a little help to get him settled in properly.

Eli the K9 is scheduled to graduate the training academy on June 21, but donations and funding for the police pooch’s bills and needed supplies have been exhausted, according to Lt. Thomas Kmetz.

A kennel that was built by Eagle Scout Stephen Duncan will now be used in Officer Snyder’s home, where Eli is staying when not on duty, Kmetz said.

The department is seeking TREX flooring to cover the area of Eli’s kennel, which is six feet by 12 feet.

While training, Eli has learned to detect controlled dangerous substances throughout the state in different environments, Kmetz said.

Donations from the Lake Hopatcong Elks and the Hopatcong Police Department helped get Eli and Snyder up and running, but the funds were used on veterinarian bills and other supplies.

Anyone wishing to help the Hopatcong Police Department with the K9 program can contact Kmetz at 973-398-5000, ext. 234 or email tkmetz@hopatcongpolice.org.

Checks can be made out to the Borough of Hopatcong and mailed to the police department at 111 River Styx Road, Hopatcong, NJ 07843.

 

 

Rest in Peace Roscoe and Thank You for your service

 

It is with deep regret that The Hopatcong Police Department announces that it lost one of its dearest officers.  Badge Number 98.  Known to the public as: K-9 Rosco. 

 

     Rosco joined the Hopatcong Police Department after graduating the Essex County Police Academy on 12/9/05.  Detective Michael Luciani ran the K-9 program with Rosco since that date. Through the 6 ½ years Rosco was used by this department and towns around New Jersey to help find people.  Rosco was popular with the children in Hopatcong.  Detective Luciani often brought Rosco to the schools and local events in Hopatcong. The Borough did not just lose a Police dog it lost a friend. 

     A tribute in Rosco’s honor will be held at the Borough Hall on September 5th 2012 at the Town Council meeting.
