Summary/Notes: The Department of Revenue has been using a single-purpose tobacco detection canine to assist with enforcement of the Tobacco Tax Ordinance. The canine was provided pursuant to a Board-approved agreement with Altria Client Services (“Altria”). Altria no longer wishes to own the canine, and ownership has been taken by Allegiance Protection Group, Inc. (“Allegiance”). Accordingly, we submit this agreement with Allegiance for approval. Under the agreement, the County will have sole use of the single-purpose tobacco detection canine and a handler for a 40-hour work week. The County will provide compensation for the handler and maintenance fees on a quarterly basis.
