Oz will be better dressed – and protected.
The Clarkstown Police Department canine has received a body armor vest from the United States Police Canine Association for Region 7.
The $900-valued vest was presented last week to the German shepherd and his handler, Police Officer Joseph Knarich during the association’s meeting in Yonkers. The group’s president, MTA Lt. John Kurwick, did the honors.
The association gets the vests through donations
Kanarich and Oz became partners during 2007 – including 13 weeks of training at the Boston Police Department K-9 Academy.
The 2 1/2-year-old tracking dog also is trained in narcotics detection.The dog found a man with Alzheimer’s who had become lost for four hours in 2007.
The association’s website is www.uspca7.org.
