On Feb. 13, 2013, the California State University, Northridge Department of Police Services invited the CSUN community and neighbors to meet the department's K-9 unit. The two-hour event—which was attended by 73 people—was a fundraiser for the care and maintenance of the K-9 dogs, Isy and Mitch. Donations were accepted and T-shirts were sold to support the police pooches (there are only a few shirts left, but more are being ordered). The DPS is still accepting donations, so to make a contribution or buy a T-shirt, you can go to the Department of Police Services building. Shown here, Ly Hoang and Cynthia Roseman from the financial accounting office, and Shen Mulunovic from student accounting meet Cpl. Tom Finnerty and his partner, German shepherd Isy.
