Our beloved K9 officers serve us with unwavering loyalty and bravery. They put their lives on the line every day to protect our community, yet we fail to provide them with adequate protection. The recent stabbing of K9 officer Enzo in Las Vegas is a tragic example of this neglect. These dogs' entire lives are dedicated to service - it's high time we do more to safeguard them, especially when they're performing their duties.

In 2018 alone, 27 police dogs were killed in the line of duty across America (source: Officer Down Memorial Page). This number could be significantly reduced if all K9 officers were equipped with safety vests - a simple yet effective measure that can save lives.

The Las Vegas Police Department must mandate safety vests for all its K9 officers. Not only will this help prevent tragedies like Enzo's from happening again, but it will also show our appreciation and respect for these heroic animals who work tirelessly to keep us safe.

Let's honor Enzo's sacrifice by ensuring no other police dog has to endure what he went through. Sign this petition today and demand better protection for our four-legged heroes!

Enzo was airlifted to a trauma veterinarian and underwent emergency surgery. He is recovering. He is being taken care of by a vet team in critical care.
