WARWICK, RI — Warwick Police K-9 officer Viking recently received a bullet and stab protective vest thanks to a $1,050 donation from Charles Scott of Warwick, to the non-profit Vested Interest in K9s, Inc.

This will be Viking’s second ballistic vest. The first vest Viking was given was an older model that Viking didn’t really feel comfortable with and the man and non-profit, “Graciously offered to replace it with a newer model,” said said WPD Lt. Michael Gilbert.
