Background:In 2000, the Richmond County Sheriff's Office developed a regional K-9
Task Force which receives funding through a grant from the Bureau of
Justice Assistance (BJA). This unit is still operating and providing services

Council (CJCC) of Georgia, which administers BJA grants for the federal
program. The K-9 Unit provides services for the Augusta/Richmond
County, along with 13 other counties in the Central Savannah River Area.
Funding for the grant is primarily used for operating expenses of the K-9
Unit. The K-9 unit consist of four narcotic detection dogs and three
explosive detection dogs.

incurred on a quarterly basis for reimbursement to CJCC
