GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Local law enforcement K-9s have received bullet and stab protective vests from a national non-profit organization.
Six Grand Rapids Police Department K-9 officers — Kilo, Izzy, Aero, Jack, Boris and Atos — will now be outfitted with body armor.
Two former GRPD K-9s — Kip and Bobby — also got body armor, but retired unexpectedly early this year. The department said the protective vest will be given to K-9s at other agencies.
