The Albemarle County Police Department has raised more than enough money purchase a new police dog, the County announced in a press release yesterday.
After Ingo, a German Shepard, was fatally shot while responding to a reported burglary Oct. 24, the Albemarle County Police Foundation began a fund to bring a new dog to the force.
Although acquiring a new K-9 is expensive, donations have exceeded the department's goal of $8,000, according to the press release. Albemarle Police Chief John Miller urged citizens still wishing to contribute to the fund to give to other causes instead.
Miller said in the release that he expects the new dog to join the force by the end of January.
