Police Chief Andy Hwang presented the Police Chief’s Citation to Crestwood Animal Hospital and others in the community for their financial contribution to support the department’s K-9 Program on Tuesday.

The Crestwood Animal Hospital staff began a fundraising event to raise enough money to purchase a custom-fitted ballistic vest for officer Kyle Buchannan’s K-9 partner “Kaiser.” With the assistance of several area businesses and private citizens, a total of $2,625 was raised.

Hwang recognized Dr. Randall Norstrem and his staff from the Crestwood Animal Hospital for their leadership to make this happen. In addition, Jim and Ruth Jensen were recognized for individually donating $800 to the cause.
