K-9 Armor and the Marin County Deputy Sheriff's Association work together to accept donations from the public to protect California law enforcement dogs. Every time we raise $750 we purchase a Kevlar K-9 Armor vest and give it FREE to another California law enforcement dog. Most police departments and law enforcement agencies do not budget for bullet-proof vests for their K-9's. Every two-legged officer and member of law enforcement who carries a gun, automatically receives a bullet-proof vest and we believe their four-legged partners deserve the same protection. These brave, beautiful dogs risk their lives to protect us, help us protect them with your donations.

K-9 Armor started in September 2003 partnering with the Marin County Sheriff's Office with the help of Sgt Don Wick who was later promoted to Lt and Post Commander in 2008. Because of the Marin County Deputy Sheriff Association's bylaws, he is no longer able to serve on the K-9 Armor or MCDSA board of directors. Thank you Don for five years of support and encouragement.

The current K-9 Armor board of directors includes Sgt. Mike Crain and Deputy Evan Hughes of the Marin County Sheriff's Dept. in San Rafael, CA and one citizen Co-Founder, Suzanne Saunders who works as a Marin County EMT and lives in San Rafael. All board members volunteer our time and we do not pay ourselves, ALL donations are 100 percent directed toward purchase of K-9 Armor vests. Thanks also to Deputy Karen Wofford for helping direct our web site format and providing a link from the Marin County Deputy Sheriff's Association web site and helping direct us how to apply for our own 501(c)(3) to maintain our tax-deductible status.

Each K-9 Armor vest is made of the same material that protects two-legged members of law enforcement, made of Kevlar Type III-A bullet-resistant material.

Our costs include $695 for the vest, $5 for shipping, $50 tax, $12 for side panels that say K-9 Armor and incidental cost of velcro. Each vest includes two department patches from the department receiving the vest attached to the vest by velcro in case the vest is handed down to a replacement dog and they need a new vest the patches can be transferred, since each vest is custom-fit to each dog. Thanks to Sierra Police Supply for adding velcro to the patches for no charge. They supply these Kevlar vests to us for their cost and add the velcro at no charge to the custom patches because they believe in our cause and give us a great price through their special, K-9 Program.

Take care of those who take care of you!
