Every K-9 deserves to be protected.
Police K-9s put themselves in harm's way every day to protect their handlers, fellow officers, and the communities they serve. A properly fitted ballistic, stab, and blunt force trauma protective vest, engineered for maximum mobility, protection and heat distribution, costs between $2,000 and $4,300 and has an average service life of five years. For more than 20 years, we've ensured Massachusetts police K-9s receive the highest-quality protective equipment, giving them the mobility to perform at their best while maximizing the protection they need to return home safely.
