(FREMONT) – A member of the Fremont Police Department is getting some new equipment.
Fremont Town Marshal Joseph S. Patterson says K-9 Officer Rex is receiving a bullet and stab protective vest, thanks to a charitable donation from non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9’s, Inc.
The organization, established in 2009, is a 501c3 charity whose mission is to provide bullet and stab protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies throughout the United States. This potentially lifesaving body armor for K-9 officers is U.S. made, custom fitted and National Institute of Justice certified.
Each vest has a value of $1800, weighs on average of 4 to 5 pounds and comes with a five year warranty. The program is open to U.S. dogs at least 20 months old and actively employed and certified with law enforcement or related agencies.
Vested Interest in K9’s, Inc. accepts tax-deductible contributions in any amount.
For more information or to learn about volunteer opportunities, you can call 508-824-6978.
Delivery for Rex’s vest is expected within ten weeks.
