The Sac County Sheriff’s Office K9 officer Havoc has received a donation to be equipped with complete body armor protection. In the next ten weeks, Havoc will have a bullet and stab protective vest from a non-profit organization, Vested Interest in K9s, Inc., which has helped provide over 5,700 vests to K9 officers in all 50 states since 2009. K9 Havoc’s vest has been sponsored by Roxanne Rowedder of Provost Point Resort, Inc. in Lake View and will be embroidered “In memory of Byron C. Provost.” The program is open to dogs in the U.S. who are actively employed and certified by law enforcement or related agencies and are at least 20 months old. Dogs with expired vests are also eligible to receive updated protection gear. Tax-deductible contributions support the program, with a single donation of $985 sponsoring one vest.
