"K-9
Corp" Corporate Sponsorship"
We,
have successfully started a Corporate “K-9 Corp”
Sponsorship program as a part of our fundraising
efforts. At this time the Hammond Police Department
has no specific budget set aside to support our K-9
unit. We initially raised money for our equipment
needs through our Adopt-a-K9
Program. We have now expanded on this project
by adding a Corporate Sponsorship Program that
local businesses can participate in. The purpose of
this expanded program is to raise monies that will
be used to help with the replacement of our K-9 partners
when they retire due to age, injury or illness and
to fund K-9 related schools and seminars where our
handlers and dogs expand on their expertise. While
the Adopt-a-K9
Program has raised a significant amount of money
for purchasing equipment, the costs for replacing
our dogs far outpace the funds generated by the
Adopt-a-K9
Program.
Ø
The
cost to replace a dual-purpose narcotics dog (trained
for narcotics detection and patrol work) is currently
between $9,000-$11,000 (including 5 week handler’s
course).
Ø
The cost
to replace a dual-purpose bomb dog (trained for explosives
detection and patrol work) is currently between $11,000
and $13,500 (including 5 week handler’s course).
All
businesses participating in the “K-9
Corp” will be listed on our “K-9 Corp”
T-Shirts as Corporate Sponsors of the Hammond Police
Department K-9 Unit. The donations for K-9
Corp Sponsorships will be as follows:
Ø
Basic
Sponsorship - $400.00: Entitles the sponsor to
be listed on the back of all K-9 Corp shirts
produced during the year of membership.
Ø
Premium
Sponsorship - $500.00: Entitles the sponsor to
be listed at approximately double the height of a
basic sponsor on the back of all K-9 Corp shirts
produced during the year of membership.
Ø
Elite
Sponsorship - $1000.00: Entitles the sponsor to
have their logo placed on one sleeve of the K-9
Corp t-shirt. There are only two Elite Sponsor
positions available. (2005
Elite Sponsors are Woodmar Animal Clinic and Krooswyk
Trucking)
Ø
Prime
Sponsorship - $1500.00: Entitles the sponsor have
their logo placed on the right chest area of the K-9
Corp shirt. There will only be one prime sponsor
position available. (2005
Prime Sponsor is Ted’s Feed Store)
Ø
All
Premium, Elite and Prime sponsors will also be listed
on our website’s K-9 Corp Page on the Hammond
Police Department website www.Hammondpolice.com
as part of the Police K-9 section of the site.
The
K-9 Corp Program will be seeking sponsorships for
the 2007 K-9 Corp Program from July 2006 through November
2006. Participating sponsors will be listed on
all K-9 Corp shirts produced from January thru December
2007. Part of the funds generated by the K-9 Corp
Program will be used to produce the K-9 Corp t-shirts
which will be given away as prizes when we perform
K-9 Demonstrations in the Hammond Public Schools.
The balance of the money will be utilized by the K-9
Unit help replace dogs as they retire and to pay for
schools, seminars and equipment for our K-9 Teams.
In 2005 the Hammond K-9 Unit was able to purchase
insurance on our dogs to assist with their replacement
in the event of a death or an injury that dictates
the retirement of a dog. The purchase of this insurance
was the direct result of monies received through our
K-9 Corp Sponsorship program.
