Controversy over surplus sale of Kentucky police dog resolved after K-9 dispute


The city of Scottsville, Kentucky recently made headlines when they posted a notice on social media to accept sealed bids for their police K-9, Nova, along with an 8-foot by 12-foot dog kennel. Many were concerned about selling a highly-trained public servant like surplus equipment, but the city clarified that Nova was not being decommissioned and would remain in law enforcement.

Nova, a 3-year-old K-9 who has been serving on the force for two years, has been trained in narcotics detection, article tracking, and finding missing persons or suspects on the run. Veterinarian Allison Fields expressed concern about who would end up buying Nova and whether she would be well cared for after the sale.

Ultimately, Nova was sold for $7,500 and will now serve in Gainsboro, Tennessee, where the local police department will utilize her skills in their K-9 unit. The Mayor of Scottsville confirmed that they still have another K-9 on duty in the city.

This story highlights the dedication and training that goes into police K-9 units and the importance of ensuring their continued service in law enforcement.
