A Heartfelt Thank You to Our Community Partners:
The Ingram Police Department extends its deepest gratitude to Tractor Supply and Kerrville Ranch & Pet Center, both in Kerrville, for their generous support of our K9 program. Their contributions demonstrate the strength of community partnership and the shared commitment to keeping Ingram safe.
Thanks to their generosity, our department is supported to continue utilizing our dual certified K9, Cezar — a highly trained partner who serves as both a narcotics detection dog and a patrol dog. For a small municipal police department like ours, this is an invaluable tool. The K9 enhances public safety by detecting illegal substances quickly and accurately, helping us remove dangerous drugs from our community. At the same time, the dog provides vital support to officers in high risk situations, offering protection during searches, arrests, and crowd control. Beyond enforcement, the K9 program also strengthens community engagement, as residents — especially students — connect with the dog during demonstrations and public events. And because the K9 is dual certified, our department gains the benefit of two specialized skill sets in one partner, making this a cost effective resource that maximizes our effectiveness without requiring multiple dogs.
At the beginning of November 2025, Chief Dustin Breshears became officially certified with Cezar, his new K9 partner, marking an important milestone in the program and reinforcing the department’s commitment to professional excellence.
This program represents a major step forward in our mission to protect lives, safeguard property, and strengthen community trust. We are proud to have the support of local businesses who believe in the importance of public safety and stand beside us in service to Ingram.
Sincerely,
Chief Dustin Breshears
