The Town of Dillon enjoys one of the lowest crime rates in the State of Colorado. The Dillon Police Department is a contemporary police agency of eleven dedicated and talented individuals that operate under a Community Policing Philosophy. This philosophy directs officers to form partnerships with the community, while traveling on foot, bicycle or patrol vehicle, in an effort to get to know citizens on a first-name basis, and solve problems collaboratively. Officer Shaun Gregory of the Dillon Police Department contacted NACOP in January 2009 requesting information about the NACOP K-9 Matching Gift Program. The department already had one K-9 and was looking to add a second narcotics detection K-9 to the unit. The addition of the second K-9 will give them 24/7 coverage, not just for their community, but for local, county, state and federal agencies in the surrounding areas. Thanks to local businesses and individuals they were able to raise $3,000 which was matched with a $3,000 donation from NACOP.
