K-9 Heat Alarm

K9 Heat Alarm offers grants that assist law enforcement agencies with the costs related to the purchase of heat alarms in vehicles equipped for K-9s. Heat exhaustion is a major cause of death for active K-9s.

​

It is an unfortunate fact that dozens of law enforcement K9s die from heat exhaustion in patrol cars every year.

The National Police Dog Foundation Heat Alarm , purchases vehicle heat alarms for law enforcement agencies who cannot afford the alarms.

​

How do heat alarms help? When temperatures get too hot in the vehicle the Heat Alarms can automatically:

​

• Activate the patrol car’s siren and light bar

• Roll down the back windows

• Notify the handler on a beeper or on their cell phone

• Alarms come with dual sensors to average the heat in the vehicle

• Alarms come with hot and cold alerts

​

Alarms can even be coupled with automatic door openers for a quick release of the K-9.

Help us to assist law enforcement agencies to protect and serve.
