Assist Us With an Emotional Support K9 for IMPD’s Victim Assistance Unit

The mission of the IMPD Therapy Dog Program is to assist and enrich the response to trauma and burnout both internally and externally.

• Externally: Therapy dogs will be utilized on-scene or during meetings/interviews with victims when appropriate to address symptoms of trauma and victimization.
• Internally: Therapy dogs will be utilized within the Department to increase morale and mental health well-being and reduce feelings of burnout and vicarious trauma that officers and victim services professionals can experience while on the job.

Your donation will help us with ongoing needs and care of our community Therapy Dog. We are grateful for your support.

In the fall of 2024, Grace Luna joined the Unit and has quickly become a valuable asset. She is already making a significant impact by bringing comfort and joy to the citizens of our city affected by crime, as well as to the officers and staff of IMPD.
