In June 2010, K9s4COPs〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=K9s4COPs - Placing K9 officers in communities and schools )〕 was founded by Kristi Schiller of Houston, Texas, to raise charitable funds to donate K9s to law enforcement agencies and school districts across the nation. ==History== On December 23, 2009, Schiller was sitting in her home in Houston watching the news when a story about Harris County Precinct 4 Deputy Constable Ted Dahlin and K9 Blek, a Czech-German shepherd came on. Blek had been killed in the line of duty after pursuing burglary suspects into a wooded area in north Houston.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Officer mourns loss of K9 partner )〕 The deputy had responded to a late afternoon burglary call on December 22, 2009, and released Blek to track the suspects, unfortunately they managed to kill Blek before being apprehended. Later that evening five suspects were arrested in connection with the burglary and death of the K9.〔 Schiller proceeded to research K9 partnerships in law enforcement agencies and found, due to budget cuts, there was no money for additional K9s. In Houston, and surrounding Harris County, there were a number of trained K9 officers on patrol without K9s. Simply put there was a problem and Schiller knew she wanted to be part of the solution. “She saw a need after seeing a story on the news and jumped to our rescue,” Sheriff Garcia said about Schiller.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=K9s4COPs Founder Honored by the Harris County Sheriff’s Office )〕 On March 25, 2011, K9s4COPs〔 received its 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt status after filing their certification of formation on June 22, 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「K9s4COPs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
