The Washington Police Department is excited to announce that we’re exploring the possibility of adding a four-legged officer to our team! After many conversations with our officers and command staff, we’re taking the next step in the process. And, as you might expect, a K-9 program takes funding!
One event helping make this possible is the 8th Annual GoFund Charity Golf Classic!
📅 Saturday, September 12, 2026
📍 Wolf Hollow Golf Club | Labadie, MO
Proceeds from this year's event will support the re-establishment of the Washington Police Department K-9 Unit. Donations are welcome, and sponsorship opportunities are available! Please see the attached flyer for more information.
In the upcoming months, we’ll be exploring our options to find the best fit for this community and department. This is very much a work in progress and is still in its early stages. A K-9 program is a BIG undertaking. It requires substantial research, the purchase of a dog, specialized training for both the dog and handler, equipment, food, shelter, veterinary care, and continued funding and support to maintain the program.
We'll provide updates as the program develops, so stay tuned, WashMO!

We’re still looking for our fox and coyote decoys that have gone missing from Lions Lake. We know there has been a lot happening around the park lately, but we want to clarify that the decoys went missing BEFORE the fair.
These decoys serve an important purpose — they help deter geese from gathering at Lions Lake and damaging the park. 🪿🌳
If you have them, please return them! If you know where they are or have any information that could help us locate them, please reach out to Washington Parks & Recreation.
We truly don’t care who took them or why. We just want our fox and coyote back where they belong! No questions asked. ❤️
Help us get our wildlife guardians back to work! 🦊🐺🌳
If you have any information, please contact Washington Parks & Recreation.

The City of Washington has an Enviroscape model like the one pictured. It is used at events such as Earth Day to help educate people—especially children—about how stormwater flows through our community.
The interactive model demonstrates how rainwater can collect different pollutants as it flows over our streets, yards and other surfaces before depositing those pollutants into our waterways. It helps highlight the importance of keeping our yards, streets and community clean to protect local waterways.
As the school year begins, it is a great time to remind students about how stormwater pollution can impact our environment. If you are interested in having an Enviroscape demonstration at your school, classroom or event, or would like to borrow the model for an educational activity, please contact the City of Washington Engineering Department.
