We are profoundly grateful for the outpouring of community support and love for Kylo and our K-9 family. This has been an incredibly difficult time and the support from around the world is humbling.

In the past, people have generously offered cash, checks, and other donations directly to the Police Bureau or our officers during these difficult moments. Unfortunately, our officers cannot accept donations in that manner.

If you would like to donate in honor of K9 Kylo, you can donate directly to the Portland Police Association Cover Foundation, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization (EIN 26-0183430). Contributions may be tax deductible to the extent permitted by law. Donors should consult their tax adviser regarding their individual circumstances.

Donations designated in honor of K9 Kylo will be held and administered by the PPA Cover Foundation to support an appropriate memorial and other charitable purposes associated with our canine family. The Cover Foundation will retain control and discretion over all donated funds and will coordinate with the Portland Police Bureau as necessary before funding any equipment, memorial, or other property intended for City use or ownership.

Community members wishing to contribute should make donations directly to the PPA Cover Foundation here > https://ppa-cover-foundation.square.site/

Our thoughts and prayers are with PPB, all of the first responders involved and the handler and his family. 😢💙

On September 24, during his final shift before retirement, Portland Police Bureau K-9 Kylo and his handler responded to assist in the arrest of a wanted homicide suspect. During the ensuing shooting, K-9 Kylo was killed in the line of duty. He served more than six heroic years with PPB.

Today we’re holding K-9 Kylo’s handler, the handler’s family, the Portland Police Bureau, and all who knew and loved this brave police dog close to our hearts.

Rest in peace, K-9 Kylo. Your service and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

You weren’t just a good boy; you were the best boy.

SALEM, Ore. — The Executive Boards of Oregon State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police and the Oregon State FOP Labor Coalition today announced their endorsement of Senator Christine Drazan for Governor of Oregon, citing her commitment to public safety, law enforcement professionals, crime victims, and accountable government.

“Oregon needs a governor who understands that safe communities require strong public safety agencies and support for the men and women who serve them,” said Chris Bangs, President of the Oregon State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police. “Senator Drazan has shown a willingness to listen to front-line law enforcement officers and address the challenges they face every day.”

The organizations cited Drazan’s approach to several issues important to Oregon law enforcement, including recruiting and retaining qualified officers, protecting collective bargaining and due process rights, improving accountability within the criminal justice system, supporting crime victims, and ensuring law enforcement professionals have a meaningful voice in public safety policy.

“Oregon’s law enforcement officers need more than political rhetoric,” President Bangs said. “They need a governor who will work with them on staffing and retention, fair labor practices, officer due process, and policies that make our communities safer. We believe Senator Drazan will provide that leadership.”

The Oregon State FOP and Oregon State FOP Labor Coalition also emphasized the need for continued attention to officer due process, including fairness and transparency in Brady/Giglio-related decisions that can significantly affect an officer’s career and ability to serve.

“Public safety should not be a partisan issue,” President Bangs said. “Our members serve Oregonians across the political spectrum and in communities throughout the state. Senator Drazan understands that law enforcement professionals deserve a seat at the table when decisions affecting public safety and their profession are made.”

For these reasons, the Oregon State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police and the Oregon State FOP Labor Coalition proudly endorse Senator Christine Drazan for Governor in the 2026 general election.

The Oregon State Lodge of the Fraternal Order of Police represents law enforcement professionals and local FOP lodges throughout Oregon and advocates for effective public safety policies, fair labor practices, officer rights, and the communities its members serve. Together, the Oregon State FOP and Oregon State FOP Labor Coalition represent more than 1,700 members and 69 law enforcement labor groups throughout Oregon.
