2nd Annual Police K-9 Memorial Service

Saturday, May 11, 2019

The National Police Dog Foundation, FOP DC Lodge #1, and United for Blue co-hosted the 2nd Annual Police K-9 Memorial Service at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, DC.

The memorial service included a rose and wreath-laying ceremony to honor the memory of fallen police K-9s who have given their lives in the line of duty. The memorial service was followed by a reception at the nearby FOP DC Lodge #1.

NATIONAL POLICE DOG FOUNDATION K-9 MEMORIAL FUND It is an honor for the Foundation to co-host this memorial service honoring our K-9s, however, there are many costs to host this event in a dignified way. The Foundation has established the K-9 Memorial Fund to honor these fallen K-9 heroes, and help fund the replacement of these K-9s.

Please consider donating to our K-9 Memorial Fund to ensure the continuation of this well-deserving event and keep our K-9 units strong. Please help us honor those who gave their lives for our safety.

Donations help offset: – replacement and training of fallen K-9s — approximately $25,000.00 per K-9 to be street ready – the Annual Police K-9 Memorial Service during Police Week in Washington, DC
