STEVENS POINT, WI (WSAU-WAOW) – A local software company is making a large donation to the Stevens Point Police Department to help the local canine program.
Skyward presented a $10,000 check to the Stevens Point PD to help pay for Sgt. J.D. Ballew’s nine week training course to certify K-9’s for the department, and for others around the state.
“We saw it as a great opportunity to help not only our local police force but many other police forces across the state,” said Ray Ackerlund, President of Skyward.
The Stevens Point Police Department said they are very thankful for the generosity of Skyward.
Many police departments in the area are seeking two police dogs, so a canine can be on-duty for day and evening shifts.
