(KLZA)-- Richardson County Sheriff Rick Hardesty informed Richardson County Commissioners Wednesday that a K-9 dog that was to be purchased for the Sheriff's Department did not pass the training and the purchase of a K-9 from a different source is being reviewed.

The Sheriff's Department has also learned of grant funding available to assist with the purchase of a K-9 and have submitted the application to be considered for grant funds.

Sheriff Hardesty also reported the department has received two grants from the Nebraska Department of Transportation and provided a report on the activity for January 1 through Mach 31 of this year for the department in regards to arrests and bookings into the jail.

The Sheriff also reported that he had met with representatives of the City of Falls City concerning the future of 911 dispatching and the possibility of moving the dispatch center to the Richardson County Law Enforcement Center.

Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Kirkendall met with the Board to discuss a request from Pawnee County for the consolidation of services for the Emergency Management Director position due to the resignation of the Director serving both Pawnee and Johnson counties.

A joint meeting will be planned for a member of each county board to meet to further review the proposal.
