Police Service Dogs (PSDs) have a long and storied history of public service, answering the call of duty 24-7, often under very difficult and challenging circumstances.
They are, without question, deserving of the honour of “Pillars of the Force” and have a dedicated pillar and section on the Princess Royal Walk.
Like their human counterparts, Police Service Dogs will have their stories told through the Virtual Pillars display inside the Heritage Centre and available online.
A charitable tax receipt will be issued for the full amount of your donation.
20% of your PSD donation will be gifted to Ned’s Wish, a charitable, not-for-profit organization providing financial support for the medical care of retired police and military service dogs, ensuring a well-earned, safe and healthy dog’s retirement.
Nameplates are metal plates measuring 6 inches by 1.125 inches. Nameplates for PSDs are arranged to form a plaque of 48 plates, then mounted to the dedicated PSD Pillar at the RCMP Heritage Centre.
Nameplates are reserved for RCMP Service Dogs with an official Regimental Number.

Text on the nameplate for a Police Service Dog includes their name and Regimental number.
Bricks are used to pave the Princess Royal Walk at the RCMP Heritage Centre. Bricks are available in two sizes and are engraved. Bricks for PSDs, Families and “best friend” dogs will be placed in the dedicated section next to the PSD Pillar.

Nameplates and bricks may be placed together on the Pillars or Walkway. When submitting your Claim Form, please include all of the information for each Nameplate and/or Brick to be included in the group.
A friend or family member may donate and submit relevant information about a deceased Dog Handler or Dog for posting on the Pillars or the Princess Royal Walk.
The Service Dog whose name is cast on a nameplate can submit their story of service (with photos) for placement on our VIRTUAL PILLARS website. You may submit your stories and photos at any time.
