Grant县正在使用类阿片定居资金资助从2026年开始为监狱新建一个吸食毒品的K-9单元。 Grant County is using opioid settlement money to fund a new drug-sniffing K-9 unit for the jail, starting in 2026.

格兰特县治安官办公室正在启动一项由阿片类药物和解资金资助的药物检测 K-9 计划，花费超过 28,000 美元购买和训练一只狗和训犬师，以在县监狱检测海洛因、可卡因、甲基苯丙胺和芬太尼。 Grant County Sheriff’s Office is launching a drug detection K-9 program funded by opioid settlement dollars, spending over $28,000 to buy and train a dog and handler to detect heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl at the county jail. K-9将与副手Seth Henkel住在一起,主要在监狱内运作,以防止走私毒品,减少过量吸毒的风险,改善囚犯和工作人员的安全。 The K-9, which will live with handler Deputy Seth Henkel, will primarily operate inside the jail to prevent drug smuggling, reduce overdose risks, and improve safety for inmates and staff. 也可以协助实地调查,但不会搜查人员或执行巡逻。 It may also assist in field investigations but won’t search people or perform patrols. 定居点基金不支付狗窝、车辆和医疗等额外费用,促使办事处寻求公众捐助。 Additional costs like kennels, vehicles, and medical care are not covered by settlement funds, prompting the office to seek public donations. 该方案将于2026年在前一名K-9退休后向新监狱过渡,目的是加强惩教和社区安全。 The program, set to transition to a new jail in 2026, follows the retirement of a previous K-9 and aims to strengthen corrections and community safety.
