After being rained out last month, the Phoenix Police Department
and the Ahwatukee Foothills Family YMCA are teaming up give the
community day at Desert Foothills Park another try. It will be from
11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Saturday, March 20.
The event provides an opportunity to see K-9 officers and their
dogs up close and watch the canines go through their paces. There
also will be on display one of the police department’s armored
vehicles used by the SWAT team.
And the Y staff also will be leading games and activities,
including an active obstacle course and a mobile rock wall.
It will promote and benefit the YMCA’s Strong Kids and Family
Campaign and the police department’s K-9 program.
Officer Bryan Hanania, a K-9 officer who lives in Ahwatukee
Foothills, said there will be raffles of police and K-9 memorabilia
along with T-shirts and gift certificates, which will be split
between K-9 program and the Y’s Strong Kids and Family
campaign.
“The grand prize, if you want to call it that, is a free private
K-9 demonstration for one student’s class at school,” Hanania
said.
