Two local non-profit organizations are helping make sure Arizona’s K9 officers stay safe.
The Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community Police Department is getting the gift of two tactical/ballistic vests for its two newest pups.
The vests were donated by the NAGI Foundation and Together Saving Paws after finding out the department didn't have money in the budget to fund the vests.
Using social media and hosting fundraisers, they delivered the potentially lifesaving gear ahead of the holidays.
