We are constantly pulling data that shows how a K9 officer makes a difference in departments. With budgets and manpower being cut at departments across the country, dog teams continue to prove their viability to the department.
K9 teams are used in situations where time and speed are of essence, such as searching a building where a suspect could be hiding.
K9s4COPs donates K9s that are trained and ready for action to law enforcement agencies and school districts who lack the budget to purchase a K9.
A dog team can search an area 50 times faster than a human and can smell up to 500,000 times better with a much-enhanced degree of certainty.
Since 2011, K9s donated by K9s4COPs have confiscated more than 8,500 firearms, and over $1 billion dollars in narcotics and cash gained through illicit criminal activity. Our police K9s have also assisted in 10,000 arrests and participated in over 6,000 community outreach and educational events.
“If it were not for K9s4COPs, I would not be where I am today in my K-9 career. The impact that K9s4COPs has on the community cannot be measured. Thank you so much K9s4COPs for everything you have done for me and my fellow brothers in blue. My family thanks for you providing the best and bringing me home safe at night."
"Having been a K9 handler for ten years, I know firsthand that there is no greater 'tool' that can be utilized in the line of duty. A life saving device that not only becomes our partner, but our best friend, that would give their lives to preserve ours. There is no stronger bond...and for that, I am extremely thankful."
"Not only are our handlers more equipped to do their job safely and more efficient, but our children's schools and our streets are safer."
“People do not understand we would not have a career law enforcement without these 4-legged partners. Thank you K9s4COPs for allowing me such a valuable tool to complete my work each and every day. The bad guys are not grateful, but on behalf of me and my family we certainly are!”
See how these highly trained K9s are making an impact in your community. A K9 can easily pay for itself by taking one big bust off the street.
