Remembering K9 Gracie today. 6 years ago, Gracie crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. Gracie will never be forgotten.......
Today the Alexandria Police Department said good-bye to our beloved K-9 Gracie as she went over the "rainbow bridge". Gracie was first diagnosed with cancer in November 2013. She persevered and continued to work until the very end with her partner, Officer Steve Escobar. Over the course of 2014, Gracie was featured in several NBC Washington stories about her fighting spirit.
Gracie gave up her fight today and she will be greatly missed. Please keep Officer Escobar and his family in your thoughts and prayers. He not only lost his partner, but a member of their family.
'Tis the Season for Gratitude!
As this year comes to an end, we pause to reflect on the many things we have to be grateful for. We are lucky to have a community like you to care and support us. Our officers and K9 buddies are doing

The Alexandria Police Foundation (APF) is focused on its main mission of supporting the work of the men and women who serve every day to make Alexandria the safe place it is to live, work, play and visit. We focus on three specific areas:
· K-9s – APF pays for medical insurance and medical bills not covered by insurance for our retired 4-legged K-9 officers. The APF also supports our active 4-legged officers by providing them equipment over and above their budget.
· Kids – In 1936, the idea of a camp was born when officers from the Alexandria Police Department, along with a sports reporter for the Alexandria Gazette, decided to find a place for the children of Alexandria during the summer. The Alexandria Police Association endorsed the idea and in 1947 the 97-acre camp opened in Kilmarnock, VA. APF supports sending 20 children to camp each year.
· COPS – APF supports the Community Oriented Policing Section (COPS) of the Alexandria Police Department. Officers are assigned to introduce young people in the City to the police department in a positive way. They do this with help from APF by providing meals at Thanksgiving to underprivileged families; shop with a COP pairs officers with a child to shop for a toy for him or her; community events where officers bring out an ice cream cart and hot dogs to distribute to children; COPS officers take kids to sporting games such as the Washington Nationals ball games, Wizards basketball games, and more during the year. In 2016 COPS added Easter and Halloween events to the growing list of engagement opportunities.
