David, Stephen, Joshua, and Gary Steinke with Steinke & Associates PLLC along with Benny and Amy Barnhill with Warren Meadows Funeral Home graciously donated funds for body armor for our two K-9s.
The LOF Defence Systems Streetfighter vests are for Sabine Parish Sheriff K-9s “Tessa” and “Kay”.
A K-9’s job is just as dangerous as it is for a law enforcement officer. Sometimes a K-9 is deployed into a dangerous situation instead of a Deputy. The K-9’s role is to protect its partner as well as the community.
Sheriff Aaron Mitchell points out that body armor is not cheap, and all his Deputies has a ballistic vest, so it is a big expense to the department.
Sheriff Mitchell humbly thanks Steinke & Associates and Warren Meadows Funeral Home for the generous donation to the Sabine Parish Sheriff’s Office.
