The Galls Defender Collection has everything you and your K9 partner need to face any challenge that lies ahead.

K9 BALLISTIC VESTS

Police dogs are often a valuable resource in dangerous and life-threatening situations. These highly trained animals consistently outperform their human counterparts on tasks, such as explosive detention and search and rescue. K9 dogs have the resolve, tenacity, and strength to charge forward and prevent tragedy. However, they are far from indestructible.

To protect these tireless guardians as they work, K9 handlers can invest in protective gear, such as specially designed K9 ballistic vests.

K9 units often find themselves confronting armed suspects head-on. It is in these dangerous situations where K9 ballistic vests can provide a crucial layer of defense against gunshots, stab wounds, and blunt force trauma. K9 ballistics feature high performance materials, allowing K9 officers to confidently step into the fray with additional protection against unexpected violence.

Police departments nationwide recognize the value of deploying K9 units. Equipping these four-legged heroes with specialized safety gear can help both dog and handler perform at their best. Ballistic K9 vests ensure these dedicated working dogs have the same level of protection as their partners.

K9 TACTICAL COLLARS

Not just any collar will do for a law enforcement dog. Police dogs require specialized K9 tactical collars to perform their duties safely and effectively. One such piece of equipment is an agitation collar. Unlike traditional pronged or choke collars, agitation collars are wide, flat leather collars that allow a police dog to pull against it without feeling excessive pressure on the neck. Some agitation collars have additional padding and specialized buckles for added comfort, while others feature handles to make training easier.

This type of collar is essential during certain types of police dog training, such as bite work or protection training. In addition, agitation collars are designed to evenly distribute pressure and protect the trachea.

K9 TRAUMA KITS

Due to the nature of the work that K9 ballistic units undertake, law enforcement and military K9 units need specialized medical kits to treat life-threatening injuries efficiently. A canine trauma first aid kit is essential gear for both officers and the K9s serving alongside them. These kits can provide crucial care in scenarios where medical care is unavailable.

A K9 Medical Kit should contain dual purpose items for treating both humans and canines. All with the ability to effectively address traumatic injuries that may occur in tactical environments. In addition, K9 trauma kits should also contain specific items that are intended solely for a wounded working dog. These items include a K9 tourniquet, muzzle, endotracheal tube, and 14GA decompression needles suitable to handle torsion and bloat incidents.

K9 TACTICAL HANDLER GEAR AND ACCESSORIES

Working in the line of duty requires physical and mental stamina to be ready for any situation. That is why having the right police K9 gear is so important. The Defender Collection can not only help you outfit your canine partner, but also yourself.

Ask any seasoned K9 handler and they will tell you that a successful operation starts with the right pair of police boots. The best LEO (Law Enforcement Officers) boots can handle tough conditions while simultaneously providing support and stability. Duty gloves are also smart to have on hand because they help protect against abrasion from your dog's leash. Lastly, a sturdy police backpack can house everything you and your K9 partner need while on duty.
