The Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office has launched its new K9 program, designed to enhance law enforcement efforts and ensure greater safety for our community. The program is intended to be community-focused, aiding in the protection and service of the residents of Hamilton County.

“We are excited to implement this program, which will serve as an additional resource for our department and our community,” Sheriff Alex H. Pruismann said. “We are grateful for the generosity of our community and look forward to seeing the positive impact this program will have in Hamilton County.”

To support this, the Enhance Hamilton County Foundation is now accepting charitable donations for the Hamilton County K9 Program. Donations will help fund the operational and training costs of the K9 unit.

Checks can be mailed to the Enhance Hamilton County Foundation at 501 Bank Street, Webster City, IA 50595. Make checks payable to Hamilton County Emergency Services Fund with “County K9” in the memo line. Credit/Debit or ACH Donations can be made online by visiting desmoinesfoundation.org/HamiltonCountyEmergencyServices. Include “County K9” in the “comments” section. Other charitable gifts are also accepted. Contact Darcy Swon, EHCF director, for instructions on making these types of donations. All donations are tax-deductible.
