About the Campaign
K9 Maggie is a 6.5-year-old Labrador Retriever certified in Narcotics. Maggie is partnered with Detective Young of the Indianapolis Metro Police Department. Maggie is assigned to a drug task force and works heavily with the US Postal service. She averages over $400,000.00 a year in US Currency seizures and multi-kilos of narcotics every month.
Here’s how this equipment both helps Maggie and Det. Young on the job:
The door pop allows the K9 handler officer to remotely unlatch the door so their K9 may exit the squad car and come to their aid, should a call for service take a turn for the more dangerous; while, the heat alarm system monitors the interior air temperature of the squad car and sets off the sirens, lights, alarms, and rolls down the windows of the car to help ensure that a K9 doesn’t suffer from heat trauma if the temperature rises into a dangerous threshold.
NOTE: The funds collected as part of this fundraiser will be allocated to the agency’s Equipment Grant Application with Hero K9 for their K9. Should the application status change and/or if donations received are in excess of the goal amount, donations will be directed to the organization’s general fund to provide additional equipment grants and cover operational costs and/or other business-related expenses.
