Training distinct from customary and usual K-9 training is funding to attend training seminars or to fund guest trainers for:

• training staff
• K-9 handlers and their K-9 partners

Priority will be given to training that will benefit more handlers (ie: for Trainers or for guest trainers that are invited to conduct a seminar open to multiple departments or for handlers that are willing to present what they learned in a seminar to multiple departments).

Training support will not include minimal department-required in-service for certification, additional areas of certification or re-certification / maintenance training.

Purchase of dogs is partial funding of a dog specifically for K-9 Police Law Enforcement work 

*Comfort & therapy dogs to not qualify for grants or vests.
