Canine Officer Tributes
The following page is a listing dedicated to the 504 police K-9 Officers and their K-9’s, some of those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice in protecting us all and died in the line of duty. To those families and friends they left behind, police departments they worked with, and the citizens they served, their stories of personal bravery give spirit to all of us and their heroism will never be forgotten.
Any person who would like to add a police K9 officer tribute to the memorial page please contact James A. Cortina
