The Foundation is proud to announce that we are officially accepting applications for our K9 Line-of-Duty Death National Memorial.
Behind every fallen K9 is a story of courage, loyalty, sacrifice, and an unbreakable bond with their handler.
Through this initiative, we are working to ensure that these extraordinary K9s receive the national recognition they deserve. Their names, stories, and sacrifices will be preserved for generations to come, including through a digital memorial tribute at the Nat'l Law Enforcement Memorial National Law Enforcement Museum in Washington, D.C.
We encourage law enforcement agencies and handlers across the country to submit their fallen K9s for consideration, including those lost in previous years.

❤️ K9 Macho (pictured) of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office is one of the many heroes who remind us why this mission matters. After six years of dedicated service and more than 200 deployments, Macho tragically passed away following a medical emergency during a suspect apprehension in January 2025.
His story is a reminder that behind every badge carried by a K9 is a life devoted to protecting others.
K9 Macho, and the stories of so many heroes like him, will forever remain in our hearts. Their service will never be forgotten, and their sacrifices will never go unrecognized.
