'Paws' and come see the impact of your giving!

February 06, 2018

Hello Donors,

 

We are pleased to be writing and sharing this great update on the 9K for the K9’s initiative. As a result of your generous contributions, the UAPD was able to purchase a bite suit. Why a bite suit?? Training of course! The UAPD K9 crew endure many hours of focused training. Training with a bite suit allows for officers to act as decoys as they work with the dogs providing them with an important level of protection and teaching proper targeting to the dogs. This is all possible because of you! Our FundRAZOR project this past May exceeded the original goal of $9000 and continued on to reach $10,530.00. As a result, we have purchased the bite suit and invite you to join us as we debut the suit at Whataburger in Fayetteville at 1956 M.L.K. Jr Blvd. on February 7th at 6:00PM. Thank you for your support and we hope to see you at the event!

 

Best,

UAPD

Thank you to all of our donors!

May 22, 2017

We are so humbled we have great donors such as you that enabled us to surpass our goal!  Through these gifts, we were able to raise 117% of our original goal.  Your contributions will be used to purchase a new bite suit for our K9's as well as help us further our community outreach programs which are important to us.

Thank you for helping us during the past thirty days during our fundrazor because there is no way we could have done it without special people like you.  If you missed the chance and would still like to make a donation to our department click here.

Again, thank you for your support in helping us continue to provide excellent law enforcement service and community outreach.
