NEW CASTLE, DELAWARE (10/22/2015) Police in the city of New Castle received a donation today from a dog-loving Pennsylvania couple to provide a Kevlar protective vest for the department’s K-9.
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.
Bob D’Orazio was in New Castle today to present Chief Dan Tjaden with the check.
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.
