KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Clay County Sheriff's Office K-9 will receive a charitable donation of a bullet and stab protection vest from a local nonprofit.
Clay County K-9 Argos, who is partnered with Deputy Zack Petty, will receive the vest thanks to a donation by Vested Interest in K-9s.
Since the organization was established in 2009, it has provided 5,043 vests to K-9s across the country.
Argos' protective vest, which he will receive within the next 8-10 weeks, will be embroidered with: "In memory of Captain David Dorn, St. Louis, Mo.- EOW 6/2/20."
Dorn was a retired police captain for the Metropolitan Police Department, the primary police department in St. Louis, who was murdered while attempting to stop a burglary at a pawn shop in June 2020.
His death drew national attention because it occurred amid protests across the country in response to the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police.
