The Portsmouth Police Department has new gear to protect its K9 officers.

The gift of new ballistic vests for the dogs comes from the Breeden Company, a real estate developer, which is headquartered in Virginia Beach. A spokesperson for the company says the owner, Ramon Breeden, Jr. is an avid supporter of animals.

“We know the dogs are going to work every day protected, so it means a lot to us,” said Christine Gustafson.

Breeden has pledged $20,000 to each of the following police departments: Portsmouth, Virginia Beach, and Norfolk to be used for K9 gear.

The vests are custom-made to fit each dog.
