Meet Chucky, our "Law Dog of the Evening Shift".
Chucky is about 1 1/2 years old and needs a new home.
Our friends at Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control would love to let you meet Chucky and see if you might be the right fit for him.
He's a bit shy at first but warms up fast.

CRAC&C has tons of great, adoptable pets available right now and can always use help with grooming, socializing, caring for a wide variety of pets.

If you adopt Chucky, be sure to bring him back to us for a photo. He's a big sweetie and we loved having him around the station.

What a great way to begin your Summer!
Congratulations to Teagan, Kamari, Ava, and Charlee from Hoover Elementary!
They won a school contest and had the choice of being principal for the day or coming to the police station for lunch and a tour - and they chose to visit with us!
