2 dogs added to Somerset County Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit with $72K donation

SOMERVILLE - The Somerset County Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit is expanding thanks to a $72,500 donation from two Bernardsville residents.

Recently, Somerset County Sheriff Darrin J. Russo thanked Dr. Caesar DePaco and Deanna Padovani-DePaco for their gift.

The donation will allow the K-9 Unit to add two narcotic detection dogs along with the costs associated with the dog's training and their K-9 vehicles.

Sheriff’s Officer Michael Kromar and K-9 Casanova along with Correction’s Officer Daniel Soffer and K-9 Caesar are currently attending the Bergen County K-9 Academy and will be graduating later this year.
