Protect, support the K9s first

Published 2:14 pm Thursday, November 7, 2013

The Kent Reporter made a reference to the city of Kent collecting more revenue than forecasted, and they were considering hiring more police officers (“City builds up cash reserves, might hire more police”, Oct. 25).

The paper also referenced the Kent Police Department accepting donations for protective vests for the K9 dogs.

Wouldn’t it make sense to use the extra funds to purchase the protective vests for the officers (Kato and others) first?
