The North Bend Police Department is set to revitalize its K9 Program, thanks to a sizable donation from First Community Credit Union. In a move that highlights the value of public-private partnerships, this local credit union has stepped up to support community safety and crime prevention efforts. The donation aims to aid in restocking the ranks of the four-legged officers who play a crucial role in the law enforcement landscape of North Bend.
In an expression of gratitude, the City of North Bend recognized the contribution from First Community Credit Union, emphasizing its significance in helping to serve the community. "This contribution is an important step toward restoring a valued public safety resource that strengthens crime prevention and community policing efforts," reads a statement from the City of North Bend. Officer Martin and the NBPD team have expressed deep appreciation for the support that moves them closer to having their canine companions back assisting in local policing endeavors.
For those interested in contributing to the cause, the department has detailed ways the public can partake in bringing back the K9 Program. Donations can be made by writing a tax-deductible check to the City of North Bend and can be dropped off at the North Bend Police Department or City Hall. Alternatively, those wishing to contribute can call the department at (541) 756-3161 to arrange a pickup of their donation by Officer Martin himself.
