Report
Summary
Canine Zadie is 10 years old and has served the Commercial Narcotic Interdiction Unit detecting narcotics and human remains for eight years. Canine Zadie has met the Bureau's standard of service and allowing her to retire will lessen the strain on her body and increase her life expectancy. Det. Poole has already been assigned another canine, and has been working with both since October 2021.
This request is for the authorization of the sale of canine Zadie for $1.00. The purchase of canine Zadie is being made by Detective Elizabeth Poole, who agrees to accept full responsibility and liability for canine Zadie and to care for her for the remainder of her life.
