- Long Realtyβs Lisa Bayless: Long Realty sales pro Lisa Bayless gifted the Oro Valley Police Department a patrol dog. Bayless covered the $15,000 cost for K-9 Risu as well as additional training opportunities for the OVPDβs K-9 unit. Risu is a 1-year-old Belgian Malinois from the Czech Republic, trained in patrol tactics and narcotics detection. Heβs been working with the OVPD since December, waiting for another K-9, Bruno, to retire before going on active duty. Risu will share patrol duties with K-9 Justin. A year ago, Bayless gifted another K-9, Diesel, to the OVPD.
