Law enforcement K9s now have a safety net to help with medical costs after they retire, thanks to a nonprofit organization founded by two local law enforcement K9 handlers. The Georgia K9 Retirement Foundation is not affiliated with any law enforcement agency but was created by Kyle Briley and co-founded by Kirk McGlamery, both of whom are currently assigned as K9 handlers at their respective agencies. Briley is an advanced patrol officer with the Statesboro Police Department, and McGlamery is a captain with the Bulloch County Sheriff’s Office.
