Supporting Our K9 Heroes

Our police K9s are more than partners — they’re heroes on four paws. These loyal canines track suspects, detect explosives, and protect the officers and communities they serve every single day. Their courage and dedication are unmatched — and when the unexpected happens, they deserve the same level of protection they give us.

That’s why the Central Indiana Police Foundation created the K9 Emergency Fund — a safety net for urgent needs that go beyond department budgets. When a K9 requires emergency medical care, must retire suddenly due to injury, or needs specialized equipment, this fund ensures help is available right away.

A Lifeline for Those Who Protect Us

“Our K9s are more than partners. They’re vital members of the IMPD team. Their unique skills help us locate dangerous suspects, detect explosives, and find firearms faster than we ever could on our own. Every day, they play a critical role in keeping our officers safe and protecting our community, which is why it’s so important that we protect them and keep them healthy. Thanks to the Central Indiana Police Foundation, we can make sure our K9 partners are supplied with the proper gear, care, and support they need to continue serving at their best.”
