The results are in, and although we did not win the SUV, we did an amazing job thanks to all of you and your votes. Wilmington PD’s Ofc. Hopper & K9 Mao received the FOURTH HIGHEST number of votes, ranking higher than SO MANY larger agencies including sheriff’s departments and state police agencies!
Congratulations to the Fulton County, OH (population 42,698) Sheriff K-9 unit on their victory.Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. SUV Giveaway Contest Rankings for inquiring minds!
Thanks so much to our dedicated supporters nationwide who cast their votes for the 30 SUV contestants.
Will there be a fund raiser to get him the vest? I noticed they are $950?
Guess it’s time to just buy a Tahoe for them!
We’ll whip them next time!!
Awww! Dang! But 4th is good!! 💜
If all who voted pitched in some money. Just maybe they could get a new suv for them.
Good job everyone who took the time to vote! For our small town we did great.
I see that Mayo did not win the SUV....but is Mayo in need of anything??? I know the Department will always accept donations, but what can the K9 use. Please PM me, I would like to help
Voted everyday but felt it was futile to believe a small town stood a chance against larger organizations. Still proud if the effort Wilmington put out.
Maybe we could have fundraiser's for our team. I think we did great!
Dang...so close
I’m sorry 😞 I voted every day!
Good to hear. Nice job everyone.
Well pooper scoopers!
Congrats to the winners
WOW...!!!
Within the top 5! So close!
You will notice that some of our officers will be a bit “scruffy” this month, but it is for a great cause as they participate in “No-Shave November.”
WHAT IS NO-SHAVE
NOVEMBER?
No-Shave November is a month-long journey during which participants forgo shaving in order to evoke conversation and raise cancer awareness.
For officers to participate (and be exempt from the department’s grooming policy) they must donate at least $75.00. That money will be given to a cancer charity or foundation to be determined by Deputy Chief (Retired) Rick Juster, who has been battling the disease for the past 4 years.
If you would like to support this cause donations can be dropped off or sent to the Police Department, with checks payable to “Wilmington Police Benevolent Fund.”
