Sponsoring a K9 Unit for the City of Galveston is a powerful way to directly support frontline law enforcement and enhance public safety in our community.
K9 officers are highly trained, four-legged heroes who play a vital role in policing—assisting with search and rescue, narcotics detection, suspect apprehension, and officer protection. Their presence increases effectiveness, saves lives, and helps de-escalate high-risk situations.
But the costs of maintaining a K9 Unit are significant. Each dog requires:
- Specialized training and certification
- Veterinary care and regular wellness checks
- Equipment such as protective vests, leashes, and transport systems
- Ongoing handler training and support
With your sponsorship, the Galveston Community Police Foundation can provide the resources needed to recruit, train, and sustain K9 teams for the Galveston Police Department—ensuring they have the tools to serve and protect at the highest level.
Your support directly contributes to:
- Public safety and crime prevention
- Officer effectiveness and response capabilities
- Strengthened community confidence in law enforcement
- The safety and welfare of both officers and the K9s themselves
As a sponsor, you’ll be recognized for standing behind the people—and animals—who keep our city safe. This is more than a donation. It’s a partnership in protection.
Join us in honoring their service. Sponsor a K9 Unit today.
One K9 – $2,500 annually
