LVMPD Foundation’s 2024 LVMPD K-9 Calendar Now Available
Proceeds from LVMPD K-9 Calendar sales support community initiatives and
training that promotes public safety
Unleash your support for the men, women, and canines of Metro by purchasing a 2024 LVMPD K-9 Calendar from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) Foundation.
The beloved four-legged heroes of Metro along with their officer handlers are featured for the first time in action at the new LVMPD William R. H. Fortye K-9 Operations Center.
LVMPD has one of the oldest continuously operating K-9 units in the United States, beginning with the City of Las Vegas Police Department in 1961. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s K-9 section includes 15 police officers, three sergeants, and 17 working police dogs.
The police dog of today is like its human counterpart: professional and highly trained. LVMPD K-9s are experts in various skills, from narcotics and explosive detection to suspect location and apprehension. Though the public may see these magnificent animals at community demonstrations, they are, first and foremost, a tool to save lives.
The calendar, priced at $25, is the paw-fect gift for family and friends and is available for purchase online at Store | Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department Foundation (lvmpdfoundation.org)
Proceeds from the 2024 LVMPD K-9 Calendar benefit the LVMPD Foundation to help support scores of programs and initiatives that help keep Southern Nevada safer, including funding lifelong veterinary care for active and retired service dogs.
“The LVMPD K-9s are hardworking dogs who serve our officers and community to make our streets safer,” said Karen Marben, Executive Director of the LVMPD Foundation. “Health care for retired K-9s is provided by the generosity of our community through the Foundation, and together, we can safeguard the well-being of these loyal partners in their golden years.”
