GPD's K9 unit is reinstated after 10 months

This reinstatement comes after an incident where one of the unit's dogs mauled out a man's eye.

In a press release Friday morning, Gainesville Police Department Chief Lonnie Scott said the department has met the minimum operational staffing goal to allow the K-9 unit back onto the streets.
