The Atlanta Police Department announced it has accepted a donation of five bullet- and stab-protective vests for its K-9 officers, courtesy of PetArmor, Vested Interest in K9s Inc. and Walmart.
“Our K-9 officers are as beloved and valued as our human officers,” said Atlanta Police Department Chief George Turner. “We are thrilled that PetArmor is helping to protect five of our K9s. This donation will allow us to provide our K-9s with a higher level of protection.”
The protective vests were awarded during a ceremony on Tuesday at the Atlanta Walmart Supercenter, 1801 Howell Mill Road NW. The K9 officers will also benefit from health products supplied by PetArmor, which makes flea and tick prevention treatments.
Vested Interest in K9s Inc. is a nonprofit organization with a mission to provide bullet- and stab- protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies throughout the country.
