We don't make the vest, we give the heavyweight
K9 Tactical Gear vest made of the same Kevlar® as
their human partner for a donation of $1900,
and you can donate to
give the featherweight
K9 Storm Patrol SWAT vest for $3600.
Both vests are custom-fit to each K9.
We partnered with
the K9 Tactical Gear family for their
awesome
vest
American Made, in Rocklin, California.
100 percent of K9 Officers wear NIJ certified
Kevlar® and every K9 deserves our K-9 Armor
vests made to NIJ (National Institute of Justice)
standard for police officers.
Thank you Susan and Bill Forbes, Owners of K9
Tactical Gear for giving us a great
discount to help us give the
most vests. Their amazing design of Spike Level
2 and Bulletproof Level 2 panels gives the most
protection of any K9 vest at Level 4 and with
custom mesh inside for a breathable fabric allows
the K9
to
wear for long periods. Made of Kevlar® our
K-9 Armor vests are made to NIJ (National Institute
of Justice) standard for
police officers, fitted to each dog
including patches for their department. The vital
organs are all protected by three spikeproof
and bulletproof panels. They lowered the price
from retail $2000 to $1600 before tax
and delivery, as a special charity price
and includes a giant spreader hook for
lowering from a helicopter.
Smiles from K9
Tactical Gear owner Susan Forbes
and K9 Yeti and Suzanne Saunders, cofounder

K-9 ARMOR is proud to offer
the K9
Storm Patrol Swat Vest
The same bulletproof vest
that April 17, 2024, saved the life of LA County
Sheriff K9 Kjeld
In honor of LA Sheriff K9 Jack
shot and killed 12-22-22 and K9 Kjeld saved
by his
vest 04-17-2024
Officer Jim Slader
in Winnipeg, Canada, has made his custom-fit,
featherweight bulletproof vest since 1996. It
started when his own K9 had to go into battle
with no armor, and when he invented this special
material, other handlers began to request a vest
for their K9 partners. Then it happened, the
night LA Sheriff K9 Kjeld (Kid) was shot and
his K9 Storm Patrol
SWAT vest took the bullet and saved his life.
That was all the proof we needed
for our board of directors to approve offering
this vest as a supplement to the heavyweight
vest. The K9 Storm wonderful family gave us a
charity discount off the retail.
K9s are stabbed and shot and
hurt and killed when they have no armor.
Your donation solves that problem,
so they stay protected all day with the featherweight
vest and their heavyweight K9 Tactical Gear
vest to wear the same
protection as their human partner going into
battle.
Thank you Sgt. Bishop for the
honor of protecting four of your LA Sheriff Bomb
Squad Perla, Bear, Lassie and Kara and permission
for 14 K9 Heroes still to vest. Thank you Jeff
and
Sara
Amend
for donating
to protect LASD K9 Perla and Bear and 3 Riverside
Sheriff K9 Heroes.

injustice and a problem you can solve but
not with booties and goggles etc.
When you donate for a vest, you choose which K9 Hero to protect.

gift again. What a great example you set for
everyone of

Deputy Mark Wallace & K9
Sultan, Riverside County Sheriff & San
Jacinto Police
Thank you Todd & Judy Zervas for donating
$1750 in December 2013 for two Riverside County
K9
Heroes.
Deputy Mark Wallace has been with the Riverside
County Sheriff’s Department for eight
years and has worked at the Indio Jail and
the Hemet and San Jacinto Patrol Stations.
While working for the Sheriff’s Department,
Deputy Wallace has had the opportunity serving
the communities of Valle Vista, Idyllwild,
Anza, and the City of San Jacinto.
Deputy Wallace was the
K9 Handler in San Jacinto with his partner, “Sultan”.
Sultan was a two year old mixed Belgian Malinois
/ German Shepherd from Slovakia. Sultan was
trained to locate hidden articles of evidence
and to apprehend dangerous suspects.
Deputy
Wallace and Sultan patrolled
the City
of San Jacinto from November 2013 to January
21, 2015.
On January
21, 2015 Sultan was shot in
the neck and died soon after at a hospital.
If a K9 Hero takes up the fight to join forces
with Deputy Wallace, and if he needs a different
size vest, we will replace it.
Sultan took the bullet that would have killed
his partner if hit in the same spot.
We salute your sacrifice Sultan, you were
a true K9 Hero.
Our sympathies and prayers to Deputy Wallace.

Thank you Carol Dunn for donating $1750 to protect
Rohnert Park PD K9 Kimo and Stanislaus
County Sheriff K9 Max and another $875 to protect
Stanislaus
County Sheriff K9 Joker. Carol grew up with
Deputy Robert Paris, whom she called "Bobby." He
was a Paramedic before he became a Stanislaus
County Deputy and she wanted to honor his memory
with a bulletproof vest to a Stanislaus Sheriff
K9. We covered all the police dogs on Stanislaus
County
Sheriff
K9 Unit, but for two dogs Max and Joker faced
bullets without a vest until Carol came to the
rescue.
When Carol first donated she asked
the
next
vest go to the police dog most in need. Rohnert
Park PD K9 Kimo had waited years for a sponsor.
When we checked if he still faced bullets without
a vest, the answer was "Kimo is in desperate
need of a K9 Armor vest." Thanks to Carol
for vesting K9 Heroes Kimo and Max and Joker.
Later Carol donated again and again for Stockton
PD K9 AJ & Kaos.
Bless you Nicole and Carol, and God Bless All K9
Heroes.

2010 we received a generous donation of $750
from Chris and Karen Tallerico of Hercules,
for a whole vest to Richmond PD in memory
of fallen
K9 Officer Brad Moody, we are proud and honored
to apply their donation of a bulletproof
vest for Richmond PD K9 Rasp.
Pictured left, Rasp and his
handler
Officer Mandell, were recently engaged
in battle with a bank robber shooting at Rasp
and the
suspect broke off the dog's tail as Rasp
held on and
took down the bad guy. At the
Petaluma Trials
we saw Rasp perform with great determination
even without his tail. What an incredible
story.

Marin County, and attended the County Fair
Public Safety Fun Zone sponsored by the Marin
County Sheriff's Office from 2004-2009. During
those years we raised enough for bulletproof
vests that K-9 Armor gave for free to Marin
Sheriff K9 Verona and Terry, to SF Park Police
K9 Hunter and Tref, to Novato PD K9 Raven and
Kyto, to Fairfax PD K9 Boss, to Petaluma PD
K9 Rico and Kilo and to Richmond PD K9 Arrow.
Every one of those police dogs came to the
Fair to shake paws with hundreds of children.
