For legislators and their staff

Sponsor the ARC Act

We are looking for one state legislator in every state to sponsor the state version, and a few members of Congress to carry the federal version.

Why sponsor

Police dogs and horses face the same dangers as the officers they work beside. The ARC Act asks for four things:

1. Agency funded body armor for working police dogs
2. Life saving medical care while they serve
3. Retirement for police dogs after 7 years of service or at age 10, and for police horses after 15 years of service or at age 20, whichever comes first, or sooner if a vet certifies them unfit
4. Medical care for life after retirement

Today the federal vest grant program for police officers says K9 body armor is not eligible, and only a few states help pay for a retired police dog's care.
