PETERSBURG - Talla, the Petersburg Sheriff's Office narcotics and tracking K-9, recently received a bullet and stab protective best thanks to the efforts of Vested Interest in K-9's Inc., a Massachusetts based non profit organization.

The made to order vest was recently delivered and will protect the K-9's from bullet and stab wounds as well as blunt forced trauma.

Vested Interest in K-9's Inc is a 501C (3) all volunteer charity located in East Taunton, Mass., whose mission is to provide bullet and staff protective vests for law enforcement dogs throughout the United States. Each vest costs $950 and has a 5-year warranty. The nonprofit was established in 2009 to assist law enforcement agencies with this potentially life saving body armor for their four legged K-9 officers. Through private and corporate sponsorships, Vested Interest in K-9's Inc has provided over 435 law enforcement dogs with protective vests since their inception in August of 2009. Over $400,000 in K-9 vests have been donated in 35 states including Alaska and Hawaii.

Two recent events made it possible for the charity to provide 217 vests for our four legged crime fighters across the country. January 2013, a regional Groupon Grassroots campaign naming Vested Interest in K-9's as a charity partner raised over $55,000 which allowed the donation of 53 K-9 vests and a nationwide Groupon campaign in March 2013 raised over $155,000 providing vests for 163 K-9s in 30 states.

The organization orders the Armor Express vests made in Central Lakes, Mich., exclusively from distributor Regency Police Supply in Hyannis, Mass., who also does the custom embroidery on the body armor.

New K-9 graduates as well as K-9s with expired vests are eligible to apply for the ballistic vets.

More than 431 bullet and stab protective bests have been provided for law enforcement dogs throughout the country.
