K9s United is hosting its annual Law Enforcement K9 Competition on Saturday, Nov. 18 from 1 – 5 p.m. at the Bishop Kenny High School Athletic Complex, located at 1055 Kingman Ave. in Jacksonville. The competition will showcase the remarkable skills of police dogs from across the state of Florida that protect and serve their communities and offer families a fun-filled day of interactive games and activities including a rock-climbing wall, obstacle course, photos with K9s law enforcement static displays, including the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office SWAT Team and Mounted Unit, popular food trucks, beverages and more.

Tickets are $5 for adults, and children 18 and younger are free. We had hundreds of families attend last year and we are encouraging people to purchase tickets for this year's event. All ticket proceeds will benefit K9s United and the vital equipment and training they provide K9 units who don't have adequate resources.
