Project Delta is a non-profit that provides service dogs to veterans and first responders. So, what is our government doing for our veterans with PTS?
(1)

In addition, Project Delta provides facility dogs to police departments and 911 dispatch centers. On September 11, 200 ...
our country sustained the worst attack on American soil since the Civil War. Once again, as in previous threats against America, our brave warriors selflessly went into battle to defend our Nation. Like all other wars, the atrocities they experienced were devastating. Many came home with visible scars and disfigurement, and just as many came home with the unseen wounds of war, such as Post Traumatic Stress (PTS) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). The results of these injuries are often severely life altering, leading many to cope inadequately with the devastation they witnessed. The outcome for these brave servicemen and women frequently include anxiety, depression, social isolation, divorce, drug or alcohol abuse and suicide. Suicide for military veterans has reached the astounding rate of 22 per day and upwards of 8,000 per year. In our opinion... not enough. There are far too many veterans living untreated with these conditions. When diagnosed with PTS or TBI, evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral therapy and medications are available. Unfortunately, veterans participate in a "warrior culture" that discourages the communication of weakness or empathy, which makes asking for and accepting help more challenging for vets. (1)

Therefore, a new treatment model would be beneficial. We feel that in addition to evidenced based treatments, another form of treatment has been proven to be highly successful for the overall well-being of veterans suffering the effects of PTSD, MST and TBI. At Project Delta this treatment involves the inclusion of dogs. Not just any dog, but dogs that are often overlooked and forgotten, often referred to as, "throw away" dogs. We at Project Delta are disturbed by statistics regarding the "throw away" dogs in our country. Nearly 4,000,000 of our beloved canine buddies are surrendered to shelters throughout the country each year. Many of these dogs are rescued from abusive, neglectful or unsafe conditions. Unfortunately, approximately 1,200,000 of these dogs are euthanized every year. We are convinced of this truth... many of the so called, "throw-away" dogs are just as suitable for providing service to veterans disabled with PTSD, MST or TBI as the dogs bread for this purpose. So, what we do at Project Delta is pair veterans with PTSD, MST and/or TBI with shelter or rescue dogs. Prior to the veteran-dog pairing, the dogs are prescreened by experienced dog trainers for basic service-dog criteria. The veteran and dog "choose" each other based on one another's personality and temperament. Upon matching, at no charge to the veteran, we train the veteran and dog to work as a service dog team. This process takes approximately 9 months depending on the needs of the veteran. Project Delta provides ongoing training and mandatory recertification for the service dog team. Project Delta is a 501c(3) non-profit organization based in Minneapolis, MN. In addition to facilitating the development of this amazing team, Project Delta also offers optional services to address the mind, body, and spiritual needs of the veteran.

The job of a 911 dispatcher is often overlooked once Police, Fire or EMS are on the scene. They rarely are made aware of the outcome of the call they took, good or bad. The emotions attached to those first moments inevitably follow them home and often for days relying on the news to learn the fate of the person or persons on the other side of the”that” call. With the help of a facility dog, our job is to provide the much needed day to day support! Thank you Rhonda Keniston and Denise Hansen for your time and effort towards Gunther!

🐾 Where is Moe? – September Edition🚔

Can you guess where our favorite CPD facility dog is hiding this month?

The Clue: Moe is ready to roll! He managed to climb into the mobile office our officers use every single day on the streets of Crystal. He fits perfectly, but we aren’t letting him drive just yet. 🚙💨

If you guessed a SQUAD CAR, you were right! Our patrol vehicles serve as a mobile office for officers, equipped with a mounted computer system, radar equipment, and secure transport dividers to handle daily emergencies on the streets of Crystal. These high-tech squads ensure our team can respond instantly, file reports from the field, and maintain a constant, visible safety presence in your neighborhood.

Moe loved sitting in a squad, but he’s already scouting his next hiding spot for next month. Thanks for playing!
