State Police K9 who serves in West Central Indiana is going to receive a bullet and stab protective vest thanks to a charitable group in Massachusetts.
K9 Jordy is the Indiana State Police dog that will be getting the new protection. Jordy serves in the eight county Indiana State Police District which is headquartered at Lafayette. It includes Warren, Benton and Fountain Counties in our area.
Jordy’s new vest is sponsored by an anonymous sponsor and will be embroidered with the message ‘’In memory of Marie Jennings.’’
