  MANCHESTER – Support from residents and donors has helped the Manchester Township Police Department enhance safety for its K-9 unit.

  Police officials thanked everyone who attended last year’s K-9 Pawsta Dinner and those who contributed to the Manchester Township Police Foundation, noting that the fundraising efforts led to the purchase of two ballistic vests for K-9 Roc and K-9 Buck.

  The protective gear, supplied by High Noon K9, is designed to shield the dogs during active duty as they work alongside officers in patrol and public safety operations.
