Both Corporal Karen Norris and School Resource Officer Gabe Gerena were busy talking to kids and parents, handing out NPRPD badge stickers, ushering kids in the police vehicles, not to mention a NPRPD-themed cornhole/bean bag toss game at Sims Park during the One Community Now’s great Hunger Walk/Fall Fest event to help end children hunger in Pasco County, Oct 2. Busy, but definitely smiles all around.

We found a new recruit for the New Port Richey Police Department’s K9 Unit even though Dalmatians are usually fire dogs! K9 Officer Eck and K9 Officer Fitch with their partners against crime, Shadow and Havoc, respectively. Thanks to The Doggie Salon (that’s owner Janis in the spots) and Dented Keg Ale Works for this  fundraising Bark Fest for the K9 Unit. Both businesses are in the Stonehaven Shops just across the bridge on the US19 side corner of Main Street and River Road. Visit them along with other great businesses and services at Stonehaven, River Plaza, and the shopping center across the street!
