handlers, and each handler is assigned a take-home vehicle to ensure rapid deployment and continuous readiness. The unit currently operates Ford Police Interceptor vehicles.
The K9 Unit is funded entirely through the nonprofit organization Franklin Township Friends of K9 , eliminating the financial burden on township taxpayers. The nonprofit is maintained through the dedicated efforts of the Ketchum Family, whose commitment plays a critical role in the unit’s continued success. The unit participates in several fundraising initiatives throughout the year, including a highly successful ATV raffle which occurred last October. The continued success and stability of the Franklin Township Police Department K9 Unit would not be possible without the generosity, dedication, and ongoing support of the Ketchum Family, for which the department is sincerely grateful.
