The Bryan police department thanked two contributors for buying bulletproof vests for the agency’s two newest K-9 officers.
Rox and Blitz received Kevlar vests from Ryan Leach of Sit Means Sit K-9 training center and a fourth grade student at Greens Prairie elementary school, Kaydee Muntean, who donated money she raised at the National Lemonade Day lemonade stand.
According to a BPD news release, 60 percent of all police K-9 casualties could be prevented through the use of a ballistic vest.
