Welcome to the Long Beach K9 Officers Association

The Long Beach K9 Officers Association is a non-profit organization which was established by members of the community with the goal of promoting and supporting the K9 Unit. The Association has no official connection with the City of Long Beach.

It is a little-known fact that the City of Long Beach does not purchase its own dogs for use in the Police K9 Unit; the individual officers who wish to handle the dogs must share in the purchase of their first dog. These K9 teams represent a unique and important asset to both the Police Department and the City of Long Beach.

Among its other activities, the Association provides financial assistance to acquire new dogs for the K-9 Unit, as well as assisting in the food and medical costs of those dogs retired from the active duty role of police K9 work.

Goals

While the annual budget of the Long Beach K9 Officers Association (LBK9OA) varies with the needs of the K9 Unit, it typically costs over $40,000 per year to fund the program.

You can help defray these costs and invest in your K9’s by becoming a personal or corporate member of the Association as well as by corporate sponsorship and planned estate giving.

Be a LBK9OA Partner

The Long Beach K-9 Officers Association values every form of contribution that it receives from its volunteers, partners and contributors. Without all of this support, the K-9 Unit would not be possible to sustain its level of commitment and dedication to the city of Long Beach.

Given the ongoing demands put on the K-9 Unit, support from Long Beach residents and businesses will assist and improve the level of support they can provide our city and community.

You can make a difference. Help Support the Police Service Dogs that Protect our Community.
