The new bullet-proof vest for the North Judson Police Department’s K-9 Jimy has been ordered and plans are in the works to somehow acknowledge everyone who donated the funds for the purchase.
In her report during Monday’s Town Council meeting, Marshal Kelly Fisher asked for the council to approve a purchase order of $699 for the vest. She reminded members that the money for the K9 safety gear came from the week-long fundraiser that was held at the St. Peter Lutheran School in November.
The payment of the purchase order was approved unanimously by the council.
Marshal Fisher noted that once the vest comes in, they want to include something on it that would reflect that it was bought thanks to the charitable students and staff who participated in the fundraiser at St. Peters.
Fisher noted that she’s currently looking into a few different options that are available to get something like that done. She said there’s a chance they could have it embroidered or they may put a patch with the schools’ emblem on it.
