The Wellsburg Police Department would like to extend a sincere thank you to Sunset Lake Window Tinting for generously installing 20% ceramic window tint on our K9 cruiser.

With the high temperatures we experience during the summer, this upgrade will help reduce heat inside the vehicle and provide a more comfortable environment for K9 Kimber while on duty. We truly appreciate your support of our department and your contribution to the safety and well-being of our K9 partner. Thank you for your generosity and support of our community!
