Congratulations Team 3 Sgt Arndt.

Congratulations to Sgt. David Arndt on graduating the 93rd class of the Police Executive Leadership College. This achievement reflects your hard work, vision, and drive to grow as a leader. We look forward to all that the future holds-for you, the department, and the community.

The K9 Unit would like to extend a sincere thank you to the Central Ohio Drug Task Force for their generous support in funding the purchase of a new bite suit.

These specialized training suits are essential for maintaining the safety and effectiveness of our K9 teams, but they come at a significant cost—approximately $1,800. Without the continued support of our partners and community, replacing critical equipment like this would not be possible.

We truly appreciate your commitment to helping us keep our officers and K9s trained, protected, and ready to serve.
