Help the Hanford Police K9 Program

The Hanford Police Department operates a K-9 Unit to assist in the effort to combat crime in the City of Hanford and any other agency who may need our assistance. The K-9 Unit is a valuable asset to the officers and other law enforcement officers who are working diligently to protect the citizens of Kings County. Currently we have a single K9 unit deployed that is narcotics trained only.

The existence of a patrol K-9 Unit at the Hanford Police Department greatly enhances our agency’s capability to track down, locate and capture wanted offenders in rural and urban environments: and detect illegal narcotics in our communities and schools. The employment of K-9 assets can greatly reduce safety risks to the citizens and Law Enforcement Officers of Hanford, while increasing our agency’s effectiveness in apprehending criminals and conserving the peace.

The expense of expanding and deploying a successful patrol K-9 program is significant. Although we have donation commitments of approximately $10,000 from community members we are still $30,000 away from our total goal of $40,000. The Hanford Police Department K9 Unit needs your support to place cross trained patrol K9 Units in the City of Hanford. In cooperation and partnership with the Hanford Police K9 Foundation, we are asking businesses, community organizations, and individuals to donate funds to purchase dogs, equipment, provide the necessary training and medical care, and other needs to support and maintain this Unit. Your generous donation to this program will go directly to this effort and is tax deductible as well. We truly appreciate any monetary donations to this much needed program.
