Kevlar Vest In The Works For Pinckney Police Dog KizerKevlar Vest In The Works For Pinckney Police Dog Kizer

2/20/14 - The Pinckney Police’s K9 will finally be joining the rest of the department by getting his own bulletproof vest. The department got connected with Massachusetts-based “Vested Interest In K9’s” in January, and that nonprofit organization has arranged to get a vest for Pinckney’s K9, a 7-year-old German Shepherd named Kizer. The bulletproof and stab-resistant vest will be made of the same Kevlar material that protects the other officers in Pinckney, and must be specialty-fitted for the individual dog. Representatives say the specialty item would typically cost $750 to $1,000, and the department would not be able to afford it without the assistance of an outside organization. It is still not known exactly when the vest will be completed and delivered. (TD)
