Closed Police Dogs need Body armour

Closed on

Police Dogs are a valuable tool for our police force and deserve some protection from some of the types of people they come across, most recently the riots seen in many Cities across the UK, including one dog that sufferd a fractured skull! (he's ok now)
Not only is it unfair on the dog which will give their life for thier handler but also if a dog was to be injured so badly it could not work again on the front line it would be expensive to replace that dog and would be a waste of the dogs training.
All we ask for is for some protection for Police dogs against missiles, stabbings and bullets in the form of a vest as this country becomes alot rougher!
