SPD K9 SAM TURNS TWO

Thank you to our K9 team for keeping narcotics off our streets.

🐕‍🦺🐾🎂Just in time for his birthday, Sam’s protective vest arrived! 🎂🐾🐕‍🦺

Sedona Police Department’s K9 Sam has received a bullet and stab protective vest thanks to a charitable donation from non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. K9 Sam’s vest was sponsored by Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. and embroidered with the sentiment “In memory of K9 Hobbs, Des Moines, IA - EOW 12-12-23”.

Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., established in 2009, is a 501(c)(3) charity whose mission is to provide bullet and stab protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies throughout the United States. This potentially lifesaving body armor for four-legged K9 officers is U.S. made, custom fitted, and NIJ certified. Since its inception, Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. has provided over 5,514 vests to K9s in all 50 states at a value of $6.9 million, made possible by both private and corporate donations.

The program is open to U.S. dogs that are at least 20 months old and actively employed and certified with law enforcement or related agencies. K9s with expired vests are also eligible to participate. There are an estimated 30,000 law enforcement K9s throughout the United States.

SEDONA POLICE DEPARTMENT CADETS EARN MEDALS AT RECENT COMPETITON

On January 13 and 14, the Sedona Police Department (SPD) Cadets travelled to the Chandler Tactical Competition to compete with 51 other teams in events including Narcotics lab raid, high risk vehicle stops, crisis negotiations, terrorist takeover, bike rodeo, pistol shoot, and sniper challenge. There were also several walk-up events, which included wilderness marksman, ax throwing, vertical assault, obstacle course and VIRTA shoot. The Cadet team walked away with first place in the wilderness marksman event.

On March 9, Cadets attended the Mesa Team Building Challenge. This is different from the Chandler competition as the focus is not on tactical, but working together with a team that is composed of representatives from each Cadet Post. The events allow teamwork for newly formed teams who bring their own set of knowledge and skills to the group and offer an opportunity to learn from peers. The Cadets brought home top three medals in seven of the eight events with their respective teams.

The Cadets program provides an opportunity for young people to explore a career in law enforcement while gaining experience they can use throughout their lives. The program is helped and funded by donations and fundraisers.

If you know someone between the ages of 14-20 with an interest in law enforcement who would like to join the SPD Cadet Post, you can reach out to Officer Mike Lucas at [email protected] or visit www.sedonaaz.gov/cadets for further information.
