FROM: BRUNO RUMBELOW, CITY MANAGER
MEETING DATE: SEPTEMBER 5, 2023
SUBJECT: PURCHASE FOR CUSTOM DUAL-PURPOSE NARCOTICS K9
SERVICES
RECOMMENDATION: City Council to consider the approval for the purchase for custom dual-
purpose narcotics K9 services from Pacesetter K9, LLC for the Grapevine
Police Department.
FUNDING SOURCE: Funds are available in the CCPD Fund for an amount not to exceed
$15,500.
BACKGROUND: Our current canine does not meet our operational and environmental
soundness standards in high stress situations and his replacement is
required. The canine's skill level is not where it needs to be. Our current
animal has been in service for seven years with three different handlers
and approaching his useful timeframe of service. When the current canine
is retired, it will be offered to one of its handlers.
Staff recommends approval.
