Columbia K-9 program 'on hold' amid heated conflict

Columbia Borough Mayor Leo Lutz said Monday the plan to have a new K-9 officer and handler in place by spring is “on hold.”
His statement prompted outbursts from members of both council and the Columbia K-9 Committee, a nonprofit organization that defrays the cost of the borough’s K-9 officer.
Mike Beury, council president, told Lutz that it was time to “tell the truth.”

  1. what a shame! WHY do you need a dog trained to bite? I respect the Officers decision to change his mind….most or of these officers have families just like you and I….would YOU want a trained to bite dog around your children? what was wrong with the regular training and i thought the dogs are part of a Good will Campaign? Wow thats hypoctirical…beings all these programs are centered on children. there must be more to this.

  2. What good is a trained police dog that doesn't bite ? This isn't a dog to walk around and have the children pet. He darned well better bite one command for all that they payed to train him !CG
