Police dogs risk their lives for us everyday, now thanks to Vest ‘N .P.D.P. they’re a little safer.
Police officers count on bulletproof vests every day. Now the dogs of the K-9 unit with the Forsyth County Sheriff’s Office have the same protection.
Sheriff Bill Schatzman said Wednesday his office has received bulletproof, stab-proof vests for eight of the department’s 10 dogs. Schatzman said the dogs detect explosives, drugs and firearms and help catch criminals, and are in harm’s way.
The Winston-Salem Journal reports none of the sheriff’s dogs have been killed in the line of duty.
The vests cost $900 each and were donated by Vest ‘N P.D.P., a nonprofit organization.
That’s great, hopefully more police dogs across the country will get them. To learn more about the wonderful not-for-profit organization Vest ‘N P.D.P., who raises money to buy the vests, visit their site.
