Join us on our mission to raise money to purchase bullet proof /
stab proof vests for our unprotected K9 officers!
On April 29, 2008, we will join hundreds of others to help end the
misfortune facing Fayette County's K-9 unit with the K-9 Vests for
Life Golf Scramble Charity Event. The Fayette County K-9 unit
consists of 9 narcotics and patrol canines, and only one has a
bullet and stab-proof vest. It is imperative to the dogs, our police
officers, and our citizens that each of the 9 canines has a vest.
Each vest costs over $1,000.00, and by making a contribution you are
helping to protect our community and the life of a canine who risks
his life daily for our safety.
Fayette County Canines are trained to track not only criminals but
missing elderly individuals and lost children. They can search for
articles used in crimes and for criminals that pose a threat to
police officers or other persons if not immediately stopped. In
criminal apprehension the canines are trained to bite and hold the
suspect until they can be taken into custody.
Our ultimate goal is to raise at least $8,000.00 this year, which
will furnish each of the Fayette County canines with a bullet and
stab-proof vest. We have many ways you can help from sponsorships to
donations, or even participating in the golf scramble!
