Title:
Donation of K-9 Bullet Proof Vests - Sheriff's Office
Summary
ACTION:
Recognize and receive the donation of six K-9 bullet proof vests to Mecklenburg County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) K-9 Unit from Max Milas and Spike’s K-9 Fund
Staff Contact: Rachel Vanhoy, Sheriff's Office
Presentation: No
BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
Max Milas, a local 6th grader from Union County, started a fundraiser to equip MCSO’s K-9 Officers with bullet proof vests. Max wanted to help because he says that dogs are often the first ones to enter the line of fire. Each vest costs approximately $2,500. Max raised nearly $3,000 from online donations. The organization he teamed up with, Spike's K-9 Fund, makes it their mission to outfit all dogs once they are on their list. They are supplementing the remainder of the cost (approximately $12,000) to outfit all six of our K-9 Officers.
