South Charleston Police Department’s K9 Koky to get donation of body armor

South Charleston Police Department, WV, K9 Koky will receive a bullet and stab protective vest thanks to a charitable donation from non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. K9 Koky’s vest was sponsored by Nancy Allison Perkins Foundation of Flossmoor, IL and will be embroidered with the sentiment “Honoring those who served and sacrificed”. Delivery is expected within ten weeks.

Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., established in 2009, is a 501(c)(3) 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.

Since its inception, Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. has provided over 6,120 vests valued at $6.9 million to K9s in all 50 states, made possible by both private and corporate donations.

The program is open to U.S. dogs at least 20 months old, actively employed, and certified with law enforcement or related agencies. K9s with expired vests are also eligible to participate. There are an estimated 30,000 law enforcement K9s throughout the United States.

Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. accepts tax-deductible contributions in any amount, while a single donation of $1,050 will sponsor one vest. Each vest has a value of $1800.00, weighs an average of 4-5 lbs., and comes with a five-year warranty. For more information, or to learn about volunteer opportunities, please call (508) 824-6978.

Cpl. Kriston with South Charleston Police Department a few months ago had a mission to help a little girl replace her stolen adaptive bicycle. After that mission was complete it progressed as an anonymous donation came to the Police Department. A fully automatic mobility van that will raise the little girl and her wheel chair safely. Thank you Cpl. Kriston
