A well-resourced police department is essential for public safety in your community. As a business owner, you can support your local police force by advocating for a K-9 unit.
1. Nominate to the K-9 Aftermath Program
Starting, maintaining, or growing a K-9 program is a significant financial undertaking. The K-9 Aftermath Program is a grant that gives funds to police departments to support their K-9 programs. Anyone can make a nomination. Nominate your local police department to show your support.
2. Host a Community Event with the K-9 Unit
A K-9 unit increases positive relationships between the police and the community because people like dogs. Host an event at your business and invite the local K-9 unit. You can set up a booth about the K-9 Aftermath Program so that community members can learn more about how to support the department in this way.
3. Make Your Business K-9 Friendly
Keep a bowl of fresh water outside the door of your business. Greet K-9 units when you see them. Ask the officer about the dog’s care and learn about more ways you could raise community support.
Maintaining a good relationship between the community and the police department is important. One way business owners like you can get involved is to support the department’s K-9 unit.
