HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Ten new donated K-9 officers graduated Tuesday from a variety of agencies, including the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

The dogs were donated by K9s4COPs , an organization that provides K-9s to law enforcement agencies, school districts and college campuses. RTIC also donated $100,000.

A number of agencies were represented at the graduation ceremony, including:

• Harris County Precinct 1 Constables
