K9 Unit

K9 Kar
On August 23, 2021, K9 Kar started his official duties as a member of the North Fayette Police department. Kar is a two year old Malinois Hybrid who was born in Hungary and imported by Shallow Creek Kennels. He is a dual purpose K9 trained in narcotics and patrol.
After the unexpected loss of our first K9 Nevo earlier this year, Kar knows that he has big paws to fill but he’s up to the task! Currently, Kar is working hard at learning the ropes as the new guy in the office, getting to know his fellow officers, and bonding with his handler Sergeant Todd Heufelder.


K9 Nevo (EOW 2/9/21)



The North Fayette Police Department K9 Officer Nevo provided support to NFPD members and other surrounding law enforcement agencies by safely and efficiently searching buildings and vehicles, apprehending suspects, tracking fleeing suspects, and protecting Police Officers. Nevo also provided support by finding evidence, he assisting in searching for lost subjects in extreme danger and he gave many public demonstrations for civic events and organizations.

K9 Nevo started his service with North Fayette in May of 2014 and was a loyal and faithful servant until his retirement in January of 2021. Sadly, in February of 2021 a sudden and severe condition left no option other than the most difficult decision to put him down. He will be greatly missed by his handler, the NF Police Department, NFT Staff, and the entire community. Nevo was the Township's first K9 Officer.

Donations

K9s are considered a specialty unit, which means a department could technically run without them. There are simply not enough funds for most agencies to include the cost of a K9 and their upkeep in the general budget.

Due to this, the North Fayette Township Police K9 Unit relies greatly upon contributions to maintain the high standard of care that is required. 100% of the K9 donations are used solely for the care, maintenance, and training of the Unit. Documentation is provided for charitable tax donations upon request.

The NFPD K9 Unit would like to proudly thank the following people for their gracious donations to our Program:
