Who to contact for grants?

[k9deputy]

We need to replace our explosive k9 vehicle and the county is cheap and wants us to look for possible grants. The k9 unit is only 1 year old. Being that I am an explosives handler we were thinking that there may be some homeland security grants. If anyone has any contact information I would appreciate it.

Have you tried having a benefit/fundraiser? Check to see if you would be allowed to hold a fundraiser at a local restaurant, you can have auctions, 50/50 raffles etc. Make sure everyone up the chain of command is onboard and approves it- You don't want some higheer up calling you in the middle of the event bitching because it makes the county look bad. People love to have a vested interest in the K9 units- it's an easy way to raise funds.
