The student association at Tulsa Community College Vet Tech Center has purchased a bullet-proof vest for Timmi – a canine officer with the Sand Springs Police Department. Officer Timmi, a six-year old German Shepherd, is partnered with human officer Mark Willits. Timmi is often the first responder on a crime or bomb scene when the circumstances are too dangerous for a human to enter.
The student association raised money for the vest by having pot luck meals and bake sales. The vest is “Level 2 Ballistic Proof” and weighs 5-1/2 pounds.
Thanks to TCC’s vet tech student association for helping to make the streets of Sand Springs safer for its community!
