The New Castle City Police Department received a donation from a Pennsylvania couple to provide a Kevlar protective vest for the department’s K-9 Officer, Cooper.

The couple, Bob and Theresa D’Orazio of Broomall, decided to make the donation after seeing New Castle Officer Paul Allston and his K-9 partner Cooper demonstrate the dog’s drug-detecting skills at a heroin awareness event recently in Exton, Pennsylvania.

The names of the D’Orazio’s three children, ages 48, 28 and 10, will be sewn onto the vest, as they all lost their lives due to tragic events, said Senior Lt. Adam P. Brams, a department spokesman.
