K9 Training Center Showcases Community Spirit

Published on June 15, 2026

JACKSON – The newly constructed Jackson Township Police Department K9 Training Facility became a way to celebrate the police department, local volunteers, and a Girl Scout who spent almost 100 hours on the project.

  Due to inclement weather a planned dedication service forced the event indoors where residents, supporters, family members, and members of the Jackson Township Police Department assembled to celebrate the official ribbon cutting of the new K9 Training Facility.

 This project was built not only to strengthen the department’s K9 program for the future, but also to honor the memory of fallen officer Deputy Sheriff Brian Kanterman, whose name now proudly stands displayed on the Jackson Police K9 Training Center at 704 Dorothy’s Lane.

  The ceremony carried deep emotion as Police Chief Mary Nelson presented the Kanterman family with a Certificate of Dedication to memorialize their son, whose legacy now lives on through the training center that bears his name.
