How this Unit is Funded
This unit would not be possible without the support of Capital K9s. They rely exclusively on donations to maintain and expand our K9 Unit. Funds donated are used to purchase working dogs, specialized squad vehicles, equipment, ongoing training costs, and some veterinary care. We cannot thank this organization enough for all that they have done for us and continue to do for our agency and our community.
