VALENCIA — Middlesex Township Police Department’s K-9 Bolt will receive a bullet- and stab-protective vest courtesy of Vested interest in K9s — a nonprofit charity foundation.
“Sandy Marcal is the founder and president; I happen to know Sandy,” said officer Mark Heider, Bolt’s handler. “When I had my previous dog, that’s where their vest came from.”
Heider, who has been working with K-9s for nearly 16 years, has had two previous K-9 partners.
