Goal

The Fort Oglethorpe Police Department is taking a major step forward in protecting our community — the creation of a dedicated K9 Unit. These highly trained police dogs are proven force multipliers: they locate narcotics and firearms, track missing persons and  fleeing suspects, and provide critical support during high-risk incidents.

But building a K9 Unit from the ground up is expensive.
Acquiring certified K9s, handler training, equipment, veterinary needs, and patrol gear can cost tens of thousands of dollars per K9 team. Most of these costs are not fully funded through traditional budgets.

That is where your support matters.


Your Contribution Makes a Direct Impact

Your donation will help offset the costs associated with:

  • Acquisition of trained police K9s

  • Handler training and certification

  • K9 safety equipment (kennels, vests, trauma kits, vehicle inserts, etc.)

  • Ongoing veterinary and wellness expenses

  • Training aids and deployment gear

Every dollar donated reduces the financial burden on the department and accelerates how quickly these K9 teams can be deployed to protect and serve Fort Oglethorpe.


Why a K9 Unit Matters

  • Faster response to critical incidents

  • Increased officer and community safety

  • Significant drug and firearm recovery

  • Stronger search capabilities during emergencies

  • Community engagement — K9s build trust and connection

K9s don’t just assist in crime prevention — they save lives.
