K9 George Needs Your Help!

K9 George is a 15-month-old Belgian Malinois certified in Narcotics Detection. He is assigned to Officer Nick Norcia of the Manasquan Police Department in New Jersey and, together, they have a strong desire to make a difference in their community by sniffing out drugs and keeping their citizens safe. 

Here’s how you can help!

George is in need of a door pop/heat alarm system and an in-squad kennel. Here’s how this equipment both helps George and Officer Norcia on the job!

1. A door pop allows the K9 handler officer to remotely unlatch the door so their K9 may exit the squad car and come to their aid, should a call for service take a turn for the more dangerous.
2. A heat alarm system monitors the interior air temperature of the squad car and sets off the sirens, lights, alarms, and rolls down the windows of the car to help ensure that a K9 doesn’t suffer from heat trauma if the temperature rises into a dangerous threshold.
3. An in-squad kennel allows the K9 to be safely transported when on the job!

Please help the Manasquan Chamber of Commerce sponsor this equipment for K9 George by making a tax-deductible donation to Hero K9 today. Donations can also be dropped off at the Chamber’s office at 107 Main Street.
