Cheyenne Police Dog Receives New Body Armor
A four-legged Cheyenne police officer will be safer when she takes a bite out of crime thanks to a charitable donation from Vested Interest in K9s, Inc.
The nonprofit gave K9 Tyler -- a Belgian Malinois certified in patrol and narcotic applications -- a bullet and stab protective vest, according to a department Facebook post.
Since its inception in 2009, Vested Interested in K9s has donated more than 4,327 ballistic vests to K9 officers throughout the country.
