The Quay County Sheriff’s Office would like to sincerely thank Quay County Crime Stoppers for their generous donation that will help us begin our K9 Program.

This support is a major step forward for our office and our community. Establishing a K9 Program will enhance our ability to serve and protect Quay County through narcotics detection, tracking, officer protection, and other critical law enforcement functions.

We are extremely grateful for the continued support from organizations like Quay County Crime Stoppers that invest in the safety and future of our community. Their contribution will help make this program possible and assist us in building a stronger Sheriff’s Office for the citizens we proudly serve.

Thank you again for your generosity, partnership, and commitment to public safety. We will be introducing our K9 addition as soon as the handler and K9 graduate from their training.
