The Hanford Police K9 Foundation is a nonprofit organization formed to assist in purchasing law enforcement canines. Currently, the Hanford Police Department has three K9’s on duty. Through fundraisers and donations from community members, the goal is to add one more canine to the squad which will replace Nico, who has recently retired. One K9 costs over $20,000. Funds are also 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.
