Red River County Sheriff’s Office K9 Odin was recently awarded an equipment grant from Protection4Paws.
“K9 Odin has been awarded the Handler Alert Package for his Heat Alarm System,” said Protection4Paws on their Facebook page.
This kit was made possible as a result of a donation from the non-profit charity Protection4Paws, Inc.
“This kit was sponsored in part by donations received fromthe patrons who stopped by our booth at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival,” explained Protection4Paws.
The kit is manufactured by AceK9.com and includes:
- No K9 Left Behind: This feature keeps the system ON until the handler actually removes the K9 from the vehicle. At end of shift, when the handler turns OFF the ignition, there is an audible and visual warning reminding them to remove the K9.
- AceWatchDog™, this innovative device sends status information, warnings and alerts from the heat alarm directly to the handlers Smart Phone, Tablet or PC with enabled Internet browser. (One year of Server subscription is included with the purchase of this component).
“We also purchased the additional equipment needed to fully integrate the system into the patrol unit bringing the total donation to $1,300.00.”
Depending on the equipment selected by the handler the amount to provide one Ultimate K9 Safety kit ranges from $1,300 – $2,600.
“There are many more K9s who need this protective equipment so no donation is too great or too small when it comes to protecting our K9 Officers.”
Protection4Paws is a PA based charity whose mission is to supply Law Enforcement K9s with the items needed to protect them while they protect us.
