K-9 Initiative
The Pittston Police Department maintains a specially trained police canine to assist in special operations. Our police dog was purchased with generous donations and we continue to accept donations to offset the operating costs of the K-9 unit, including dog food, veterinary care and the K-9 transport vehicle. All donations are gratefully accepted! Click here for more information.
