Our Community Credit Union has grown a unique partnership with local law enforcement to enhance the safety of our communities.  We are extremely excited to help tell the stories from K9 units that protect and serve the people of Mason and Grays Harbor Counties every day.

K9 Jano Recovers from Surgery
On August 29th, K9 Jano had to have a mass removed from his leg.  We are happy to report that the biopsy results came back negative for cancer and Jano returned to work in early September.  Jano aided in a 14 mile pursuit of a stolen vehicle out of Olympia.  During the chase the suspects vehicle had mechanical issues and the driver attempted to flee on foot. Although not 100% Jano was still faster than the subject and helped get them in custody.

We're so glad you are healthy and back to work keeping us safe, Jano!
Putting the FUN in Fundraising!
On September 4th the MCSO held a fundraising event for the K9 program presented by Burger Claim in Belfair.

K9 Deputy Teams were onsite helping with the fundraising, providing information to the public and more!  This event raised over $2,000!  Proceeds from the entire day benefit the donation driven K9 program.

Ronin's New Vest
​Aberdeen Police Department’s K9 Ronin has received a bullet and stab protective vest thanks to a charitable donation from non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. The vest was sponsored by a fundraiser hosted by Beth Frank of Alaska K9 Center and embroidered with the sentiment “Gifted by Alaska K9 Center”.

The program is open to dogs actively employed in the U.S. with law enforcement or related agencies who are certified and at least 20 months of age. New K9 graduates, as well as K9s with expired vests, are eligible to participate.
