Explore Sequim's K9 Police History This May at the Civic Center Gallery

The Sequim Police Department is presenting an exhibit on the 24-year history of its K9 program. This exhibit is located at the Karen Kuznek-Reese Gallery in the Sequim Civic Center, 152 West Cedar Street, and is open to the public throughout May during National Police Week.

The display outlines the K9 program, which began in 2000 and currently includes K9 officer Mamba. The program relies solely on donations to cover costs such as health care, food, training, and other supplies for the K9 unit.

The exhibit is open from Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Visitors interested in supporting the program can make donations, with all funds directly benefiting the K9 unit.

National Police Week, established in 1962 by President John F. Kennedy, includes May 15 as Peace Officers’ Memorial Day. The week features events in Washington, DC, to honor officers who have died in the line of duty.
