Riverside City Council will honor the Police Department’s K-9, Athos, at its council meeting on April 21.
Athos, a nine-year veteran on the force, is retiring at the end of April.
The public is invited to the council meeting, 5200 Springfield Street, Suite 100. The work session begins at 6 p.m. and the council meeting starts at 7 p.m.
Additionally, the Riverside Area Chamber of Commerce is accepting donations to help purchase a new K-9 for the police department.
The current goal is to raise $16,000 in order to purchase the dog, train the handler and maintain equipment for the specialty K-9 cruiser.
If you would like to donate, contact Lynn Domescik at 937-477-3289 or Lynn@RiversideChamber.com.
