Whether they are alerting their handlers to explosives, apprehending criminals, or recovering evidence, the VPD’s Police Service Dogs are true canine heroes.
Responding to over 8,000 calls for service a year, it takes a tremendous amount of training and resources to keep these furry partners at their optimal performance.
The Vancouver Police Foundation is proud to support the VPD’s Canine Unit who are integral to making Vancouver safer for all. Donors have to provide lifesaving tools like ballistic vests to Canada’s most advanced training facility. Together we can continue to help the Canine Unit with purchases and acquisitions that fall outside of the VPD’s yearly operating budget.
