Report
Summary
Canine teams are an invaluable tool in the rapid detection of criminal suspects and in the protection of the community and officers. Handlers and their canines constantly train on obedience, search work and bite work. Currently, this training occurs in a dedicated training area on the grounds of the Phoenix Regional Police Academy. However, the current training area has no overhead shade. Placing a shade structure over this training area will provide a decompression and cooling area to allow training to occur during the daytime hours, protecting the health and safety of officers and canines.
The Phoenix Police Foundation is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that was founded in late 2001. The purpose of the Foundation is to address unmet capital needs of the Phoenix Police Department and to provide financial assistance in crisis situations.
Financial Impact
There is no cost to the City. The grant will provide funding in the amount of $12,449.06 for the purchase of the shade structure.
