K-9 vests for working dogs

A growing number of police departments state they do not have the funding to protect their K-9 officers with bullet/knife proof vests... It is vital for these working dogs to be offered the same protection as any officer of the law... There are non-profit organizations who are willing to do what the Police Departments do not... Considering purchasing and training a K-9 officer costs in the tens of thousands of dollars, a vest will cost each unit approximately 1500.00... This is a very little sum considering all of the lives saved by each and every K-9 officer...
