BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office is requesting the Board adopt the above referenced Resolution to transfer ownership of retired Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office Canine Officer JoJo.
Due to their specialized training, the Canine Officer JoJo would be a danger to public health and safety if adopted by or sold to a member of the general public who is unfamiliar with their law enforcement training. The Canine Officer JoJo is of no economic value to Mecklenburg County, NC and therefore, pursuant to authority granted by NCGS 160A-266(d)(iii), can be transferred without payment of compensation to its handler, who is familiar with his law enforcement training.
