Nick Baclit. \u201cI\u2019m thankful that he will now be safer, when he is deployed in dangerous situations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Prinz is part of two K-9 teams at the La Habra Police Department. Each team is comprised of an officer and a police dog assigned to the patrol division where they are deployed to conduct area, perimeter, and building searches.<\/p>\n<p>These highly trained dogs assist the officers in performing their duties in a safe manner, by alerting on the areas where suspects have concealed themselves in an attempt to evade capture.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, there have been several high-profile cases where police dogs have been shot in the line of duty. The most famous is the <a href=\"https:\/\/behindthebadgeoc.com\/cities\/oc\/brunos-tale-illustrates-danger-of-police-work\/\">Anaheim K-9, Bruno<\/a>, who was shot and injured last March.<\/p>\n<p>And on Sunday, Reiko, a police dog with the West Covina police force, was shot and injured during a standoff with a gunman. Bruno has since fully recovered and Reiko is expected to do the same.<\/p>\n<p>The nonprofit Vested Interest in K9s was established in 2009 to assist law enforcement agencies with providing this potentially life-saving body armor for their four-legged officers.<\/p>\n<p>Through private and corporate sponsorships, Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. has, since 2009, provided more than 1,125 law enforcement dogs in 40 states with protective vests at a cost of more than $1 million.<\/p>\n<p>The Animal Health Foundation is committed to improving the health and welfare of animals by supporting and promoting charitable, scientific, literary and educational activities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Prinz, one of La Habra\u2019s two police dogs, will soon be much safer while on duty, thanks to a new ballistic vest that will protect him from potential stabbings or bullet wounds.
