While at Polk County Sheriff’s Office headquarters Thursday afternoon, Sheriff Judd blind taste tested four brews and liked the Ethiopian light blend the best. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The blend will now be called “Judd Java.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fifty percent of the proceeds that come from “Judd Java” will go to K9’s for Cops which to date has raised more than $300,000 to buy K9’s for the sheriff’s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“They cost anywhere from $10,500 to $13,000, so they’re very expensive,” said Michelle Robare, the chair of the K9’s for Cops Committee. “We really need the community’s support. This isn’t something we can do on our own.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jeremy Turner, the founder of Dark Horse Coffee Company, said the community needs to support the brave men and women in the local law enforcement community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
