The San Diego Police Foundation K9 Regional Assistance Project is a grant to expand and
enhance the work of police canine units throughout San Diego County. Eligible items include
training, equipment, and the replacement or addition of service dogs not funded through an
agency's operational budget.
Carlsbad Police Department requested funding and has received approval from the San Diego
Police Foundation K9 Regional Assistance Project for the replacement of police services canine
"Raven" who is scheduled to retire in December 2009. Police canines provide a valuable service
to the department and the community by assisting in the location and apprehension of suspects
and increasing officer safety. Often, simply the presence of a highly trained police dog is enough
to deter a suspect from attempting to flee, fight, or hide. The proper deployment of a canine team
enhances the safety of officers and the public and can reduce the likelihood of injury to a suspect.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs associated with a replacement canine are estimated to be $12,700. This includes the dog's
cost, tax, and training. These expenses are eligible for full reimbursement by the San Diego
Police Foundation's K9 Regional Assistance Project.
