Local real estate agent Marlene Trevino reached out to the TCEVA wanting to show her support for the Trophy Club PD K9 Unit! She did so by purchasing a new tactical patrol harness with built-in Kevlar.
The patrol harness was custom made to specifically fit Indy and has built in Kevlar. The Kevlar is similar to what we wear on duty and helps protect Indy from gunfire! K9 Indy and Officer Barry Sullivan serve on the North Tarrant Regional SWAT Team and have deployed with them on several tactical operations where this vest was beneficial for his safety. This vest is form-fitting and keeps Indy safe during those high-risk deployments.
The vest is light weight, comfortable and has mesh portions to help keep Indy cool during the hot summer days! The vest has a GoPro attachment on the top as well as a high power LED light on the breast piece which puts off a large amount of light for him to see in dark buildings or hard to see areas during patrol functions.
Because of how light weight and versatile the vest is; Indy can wear it regularly which will keep him safe! THANK YOU, Ms. Trevino, for your generosity and selfless donation to our PD team!
