ECPD K9 Fund

Since the inception of the K9 Unit in 1990, the use of a dog has been an important asset to the Eau Claire Police Department. K9 dogs assist officers with dangerous tasks and work with the Department’s Tactical Response Team on high-risk deployment incidents.

The cost of a K9 dog, including the specialty vehicle and equipment needed to support the dog, can be quite expensive. Therefore, the ECPD K9 Fund was established in 2006 to support the K9 Unit and other special unit needs.

You can contribute to the Fund online by clicking the link below:
