CSPD announces 2022 K-9 calendar, showing off department’s cutest officers

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) -- The 2022 Colorado Springs Police Department K9 Calendar is almost here! All of the proceeds go towards the department's Cadet Program.

The Cadet Program is "designed to grow young leaders." According to the department, CSPD Cadets attend leadership conferences and volunteer at local non-profits throughout the year while learning about the role law enforcement plays in Colorado Springs.

While some cadets go on to become officers, CSPD says the goal is to help equip young members of the community with strong leadership skills and knowledge that they can take into any career path.

To keep the program free for everyone, the department relies on fundraisers and donations from the community, including the K9 Calendar. The sales from the calendars will directly help pay for the cadets’ leadership training, travel expenses, uniforms, and more.
