The Lake Havasu City Police Department recently added another K-9 to assist with drug detection. Through several generous donations, the Lake Havasu City Police Department purchased “Echo,” a two-year-old German Shepherd Narcotics Detection K-9. Echo and his handler have recently returned from a four-week training where Echo was certified in the detection of several illegal drugs to include Fentanyl.

Police Chief Troy Stirling is thankful for the community’s support of the K-9 program, and is excited to have Echo on the team, “Several donations were provided to our K-9 Program, which were instrumental in allowing our agency to include another K-9.  Echo will be a valuable resource in our agency’s efforts to remove illegal narcotics from our community,” he said.  

Community members interested in donating can make checks payable to the LHCPD K-9 Program, 2360 McCulloch Blvd. N. Lake Havasu City, AZ 86403.
