Two donations for the county’s K-9 unit were presented Tuesday at the Washington County Board of Supervisors meeting. A $100 donation was presented by Kalona Tire and $500 was given by Precision Structures Inc. The Washington County Sheriff’s Department’s K-9 officer “Joe” retired in January. He was used in routine patrol, drug investigations and serch and rescue. Fundraising efforts are continuing to get a new K-9 officer in the county.
