DISCUSSION
The Santa Ana Police Department's K-9 Program provides a valuable less lethal resource to
enhance officer safety and reduce liability exposure. From time to time, community members
contribute funding and supplies to enhance the program. Recently, Police Volunteer Johanna
Scillieri has donated K-9 "Kaylee", K-9 training obstacles, and K-9 trading cards to the Santa Ana
Police Department's K-9 Program. Ms. Scillieri's most recent donation K-9 "Mojo" will replace the
soon to be retired K-9 "Puskas", allowing the Police Department to maintain the number of Police
K-9's at six, not counting the Bloodhound. The total value of K-9 animals, equipment and supplies
donated by Johanna is $38,897, as detailed below.
K-9 Kaylee
$11,025
K-9 Mojo

the partnership that exists between the Department and its volunteers, and recommends approval
of the resolution.
