Monroe K-9 Receives Body Armor

In October we ran a story about a local K9 receiving protective body armor and it has officially arrived.

According to a Facebook post, Simba a K9 out of the Village of Monroe Police Department has just received a bullet and stab resistant vest. The vest was donated from Vested Interest in K9's Inc and Armor Express.Vested Interested works out of East Tauton, Massachusetts and work under an incentive program where after 15 vests are purchased by the charity one is donated. Prices of the vest range from $1,795 to over $2,000. Vests have been donated to Police departments from Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, New York, North Dakota, South Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin have all received vests.
