Pentagon Force Protection Agency

After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the U.S. defense community came together in a show of resilience by displaying a U.S. flag at the Pentagon impact site as a visible symbol the Pentagon will never cease operations. It is a tradition that continues to this day, 24 years later, in honor of those who lost their lives. The Pentagon Force Protection Agency is grateful to have had so many of our partners attend this solemn ceremony. From fellow defense community members to local first responders who represent more than 40 agencies that aided the Pentagon that fateful day, thank you for joining us in this time of remembrance. PFPA extends special thanks to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth for his presence at this distinguished memorial event. Photos courtesy of U.S. Army Sgt. Joseph Spraktes and Cpl. Joseph Martin.

Welcoming September with our K9 of the Month, K9 Chief! 🐶 This Labrador Retriever, born April 13, 2022, joined the Pentagon Police in 2023. K9 Chief plays a vital role in protecting the Pentagon and surrounding areas as an explosive detection dog. One of the ways PFPA K9s like K9 Chief prepare for their jobs is to improve their physical fitness and strengthen the bond between K9 and handler.
