K-9 Koa Gets Life-Saving Vest | Colorado Springs News

Two-year-old K-9 Koa from Colorado Springs PD just got a life-saving bullet and stab-resistant vest, thanks to nonprofit Vested Interest in K9s and local sponsor Shána Leeper. This gear gives his handler, Officer Jergens, peace of mind as Koa tackles high-risk duties—from search-and-rescue to firearm detection. The vest also honors Beverly McIllwain, and it’s part of a nationwide effort to protect police dogs on the front lines.
