The Holbrook Police Department will have a young, furry, strong, and well-trained addition to its roster if fundraising continues to be successful.

The Holbrook Patrolmen’s Association, N.E.P.B.A. Local# 88, in conjunction with Norfolk County Sheriff Michael Bellotti and Police Chief William Marble, Jr., has established a Police K-9 Program for the town.

In order to fund the program, Holbrook Police Union President Officer John P. Kearney started the H.P.D. K-9 Fund to be able to purchase a German Shepherd as well as provide funding for veterinary care, provisions, equipment, and training gear for the dog.
