Adams police dog to get protective vest
Adams Township Police Department K9 Kiko soon will be the recipient of a donated protective vest, courtesy of the nonprofit Vested Interest in K9s.
Vested Interest in K9s provides protective vests and other assistance to law enforcement dogs across the country. The program has provided more than 4,563 vests to departments since its creation in 2009. Each vest has a value of $1,744 to $2,283, according to the organization.
The armored vest is bulletproof and stab-proof and was sponsored by Elyza Guzman Anesthesia Services in Cape Coral, Fla. It will be embroidered with the message, “In memory of Katie, an angel with 4 paws.”
“We should expect delivery on that in eight to 10 weeks,” Chief Shawn Anglum said at a meeting on Monday night.
