The Hamlet Police Department is looking at getting a K-9. Officer John Lynch told the town council last week that a dog could help slow the flow of drugs on the busy U.S. 30 corridor. “It’s here,” he said. “It’s running through the town. We’re doing everything to get it stopped.”
He said the goal would be to fund the K-9 through outside donations, and officers have been working with North Judson Police to see how they did it. The total cost could vary, depending on which option police end up choosing. “We’re not really looking at a bite dog. We’re more concerned with a sniffer,” Lynch explained.
Council members agreed to let the police department keep looking into it.
