With the overwhelming support of the community, this event raised $20,988.48 which will go to help fund future needs of the K-9 unit.There were K-9 demonstrations that allowed the public to see firsthand some of the unique capabilities of a K-9. This event also presented a great opportunity for the community to meet the current K-9’s and their partners. Everyone in attendance had a great time socializing and interacting during what has become an annual event. The San Bernardino Police Departments K-9 Unit would like to thank the Mexico Café and their dedicated staff for their continued support throughout the years. The officers who worked the event enjoyed the day in a life of a food service employee. Sharon also marked this special 10th anniversary event by unveiling the San Bernardino Police K-9 Memorial to the front of the restaurant honoring all the patrol K-9’s that have served this city with honor. The San Bernardino Police Department would also like to thank the community for their continual support and dedication in making this event a tremendous success.
