The K-9 Unit is an important part of the Great Bend Police Department, and with the help of local donations its two police dogs are well fed.A recent donation will cover the cost of a year’s supply of food for K-9 officers Kia and Lazer, Chief Cliff Couch said.“Kia is a Belgian Malinois who has been the Department since 2013, and Lazer is a German Shepherd who joined the force in 2015,” Couch explained. The K-9s are the responsibility of GBPD Officers Joseph Johns and Shane Becker, who take the dogs home every day and provide their care and training.“It is great to have these two dogs along with their handlers in Great Bend. They are an invaluable tool and they do so much for our community,” American Family Insurance agent Rhonda Knudson said.
