Fund set up for family of Officer Enget

A fund sent up to assist the family of Bainbridge Police Officer Kurt Enget has raised more than $14,000 in the two hours since it was set up Friday morning.

Enget died Friday morning following treatment for symptoms similar to COVID-19 at Harrison Medical Center, the city of Bainbridge Island announced.

Enget, 49, was the city’s K-9 handler and a five-year veteran of the Bainbridge Island Police Department.

He is survived by his wife, Yevette; three children; and two grandchildren.

More than 150 people have made donations so far.

A goal of $50,000 has been set, and $14,885 had been raised by 10 a.m. Friday.

The fund was set up by the Bainbridge Island Police Guild. It’s at https://www.gofundme.com/f/bipg-support-for-kurt-and-yvette-enget?utm_source=customer&utm_medium=copy_link&utm_campaign=p_cf+share-flow-1.
