    Albany County Sheriffs Office K9 Sarge to get Body Armor


    Albany County Sheriffs Office K9 Sarge will receive a bullet and stab protective vest thanks to a
    charitable donation from a non-profit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. K9 Sarges vest is sponsored
    by Her Underthings of Albany, NY and will be embroidered with the sentiment In loving memory of Jessica
    Keto, 9/16/85-3/19/15. Delivery is expected within eight to ten weeks.
    Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. is a 501c (3) charity located in East Taunton, MA whose mission is to
    provide bullet and stab protective vests and other assistance to dogs of law enforcement and related agencies
    throughout the United States. The non-profit was established in 2009 to assist law enforcement agencies with
    this potentially lifesaving body armor for their four-legged K9 officers. Since its inception, Vested Interest in
    K9s, Inc. provided over 1,600 protective vests, in 49 states, through private and corporate donations, at a cost
    of over 1.5 million dollars. All vests are custom made in the USA by Armor Express in Central Lake, MI.
    The program is open to dogs actively employed in the U.S. with law enforcement or related agencies
    who are certified and at least 20 months of age. New K9 graduates, as well as K9s with expired vests, are
    eligible to participate.
    K9 Sarge is one of four dogs currently being utilized in the K9 program at the Albany County
    Sheriffs Office. Sarge was donated by a family from the Town of Rhinebeck within Duchess County and he
    is a 2 year old German Shepherd who has received certification in handler protecting, article search and
    tracking, and is in the process of completing his certification in narcotic detection. Sarge and his handler,
    Inspector William Rice, are currently assigned to the Sheriffs Criminal Investigation Unit which is located at
    the Sheriffs Public Safety Building in the Town of New Scotland. They continue to hone their skills by
    continuing training with the Albany Police Department and several other local agencies.
    The suggested donation to provide one protective vest for law enforcement K9 is $1,050.00. Each
    vest has a value between $1,795 $2,234 and a five-year warranty, and an average weight of 4-5 lbs. There
    are an estimated 30,000 law enforcement K9s throughout the United States. For more information or to learn
    about volunteer opportunities, please call 508-824-6978. Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. provides information,
    lists events, and accepts tax-deductible donations of any denomination at www.vik9s.org or mailed to P.O.
    Box 9 East Taunton, MA 02718.

    For further details, please contact Sheriff Apple at 518-487-5440.
