The Hanford Police K9 Foundation is a nonprofit organization formed to assist in purchasing law enforcement canines. Currently, the Hanford Police Department has six K9’s on duty. Four dual purpose apprehension canines for field work and two canines for emotional support. Through fundraisers and donations from community members, the goal is to add two more canines to the squad within the next two years. Funds are needed to assist purchasing the animal, training the animal and the police officer, equipment, and medical care.

The use of police canines is getting more and more prevalent in police work and serves as a less-lethal use of force for officers. Police canines’ help officers track suspects, apprehend offenders, detect illegal narcotics, and are a great resource for community events.

Indulge in delicious craft beer and food as you benefit the Hanford Police K9 Foundation.
