Police Service Dogs
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. These much valued members of frontline policing now have their own dedicated pillar and section on the Princess Royal Walk, identified as K9. For they too are Pillars of the Force!
The K9 section and pillar provide both a legacy of and a tribute to these Police Service Dogs (PSDs) who serve and protect. Recognizing the PSD’s will also help provide financial support to ensure their legacy is shared with generations to come. Not only will this initiative provide financial support to the RCMP Heritage Centre to help share the story of Police Service Dogs. Additionally, it will also help ensure that PSDs live a safe and healthy life in retirement, with 20% of each PSD donation gifted to Ned’s Wish, a charitable, not-for-profit organization that provides financial support for the medical care of retired police service dogs.
You can participate in this K9 initiative by staking a claim and making a PSD legacy donation or a PSD tribute donation.
