Andrews told board members that the city is missing out on possible
revenues that a K9 would bring. He said when you make traffic stops and
the driver refuses to allow a search, their hands are tied. If a drug
dog alerts on a vehicle, its gives officers probable cause to search a
vehicle for drugs or illegal proceeds from drugs. More drug arrests and
drug, cash, and vehicle seizures lead to more revenues coming in for the
police department and city.
