Another Connecticut State Police K-9 is receiving a bullet and stab protective vest through a charitable donation. Tobi, who is assigned to Troop L in Litchfield, will receive the vest in 8 to 10 weeks. It was sponsored by Stacy's Pet Porium of Litchfield. The vest comes from Vested Interest in K9s charity.
Tobi has been assigned to Trooper Bruce Lachance since September. Tobi will turn two in August.
The German shepherd is trained in all patrol functions including tracking, building searches, evidence recovery, apprehension, obstacles and obedience.
