Laguna Beach K-9s get custom-made protective vests
Laguna Beach K-9s are a little safer on the job.
The Laguna Beach Police and Community Foundation (lbpcf.org) bought custom protective vests for two department K-9s, thanks to a generous donation from board member Bob Roper.
The manufacturer, K-9 Storm, is considered the gold standard in K-9 protection. Each dog is measured in 27 areas to create a custom vest that is perfectly fitted.
The handlers can have the dogs wear the vest the entire shift if they choose to, without worrying about tiring the animals with the extra weight or causing them to overheat. The vest is stab- and slash-resistant and provides underbelly impalement protection. Each comes with a lifetime warranty.
“We are incredibly grateful for the support of Bob Roper on this important project,” said Laguna Beach Police and Community Foundation President Glenn Gray. “The department’s K-9s are an essential part of effective policing, and these vests will ensure that they are well protected as they undertake often dangerous missions on behalf of the community.”
