This past Saturday the annual Fallen Officer Memorial 5k was held. One thing that stood out to us as we watched Councilman Andy Carrizales Instagram Live was a booth from the Fontana Police K9 Pals a non profit that supports the Fontana K9 unit. Now it isn’t totally odd to see an organization that supports another agency at a local agencies event. What is odd is the fact that the Friend’s of Rialto K9 Association are still bared from funding our K9 program.
This all stems from the Termination of K9 Officer Glen Anderson and the Rialto Friend’s objection to allowing the then Police Chief Randy Deanda from taking over control of their group. It has been over a year since the former Police Chief took action against the Friend’s and used scare tactics to try and strong arm members into submission. Now it seems that they have decided to add insult to injury and while the Rialto K9 group is still unable to provide funding our city can’t afford to fund they will celebrate another organization at a city sponsored event.
