MARQUETTE, MI-- K9 officers with the Marquette Police Department will be safer while on patrol, thanks to the donation of vests from a Massachusetts company.
The vests will protect K9s Frodo and Scud from bullet and stab wounds and blunt force trauma.
Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. is an all-volunteer charity whose mission is to provide protective vests for law enforcement dogs throughout the U.S. The charity recently donated 217 of the $950 vests to departments around the country.
The Marquette donation was made possible through the efforts of Marquette County Central Dispatch operator Lori Fries.
