Police Canine Grants
Police K9 units use trained dogs to apprehend or track criminals, protect their handlers, track missing persons or cadavers, or detect bombs, munitions, or drugs. The cost of pretrained K9 units can be as much as $10,000, with annual care costing between $1,000 to $3,000. Single pieces of equipment, such as bite suits or bulletproof vests, may cost more than $1,000. To help cover these costs, organizations offer grants to pay for the acquisition of dogs, the training or care of dogs, or the purchase of equipment related to a K9 unit.
