YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY)- The K9 Ops Foundation presented gift packs for the dogs of law enforcement canine partners from multiple agencies around Yuma County on Thursday. They say it’s important to recognize and thank our officers.
“The K9 Ops Foundation raises money to buy equipment and pay for vet bills and to help the K9 Ops local canine teams in the Yuma area. And since this is law enforcement week, we wanted to provide them with some gifts for the dogs and for the handlers and just to tell them thank you,” said K9 Ops Foundation Vice President Mark Sims.
“Well, it’s really great that the K9 Foundation can help all the local handlers and canine agencies within the county. Just based on our budgets alone, we want to be able to get everything that we can out of our trainings and our operations, so it’s really great that the foundation can come in and support us,” said YPD officer Michael Robinson.
The foundation delivered packs to multiple agencies including the Yuma County Sheriff’s Office and police from Welton, San Luis, and Yuma.
