Jan. 15, 2026 (El Cajon) -- Titan, the El Cajon Police Department's resident K9, will receive a bullet and stab protective vest through a charitable donation from nonprofit organization Vested Interest in K9s, Inc.
K9 Titan’s vest will come within the next 10 weeks and will be embroidered with the sentiment “In memory of Milo.”
Since joining the ECPD in July 2025, K9 Titan, now 3, is partnered with Officer Malak Tilko.
Police K9s are uniquely trained to support officers in a wide range of duties, from building searches and suspect tracking to narcotics detection and community engagement. Their presence enhances officer safety, increases operational effectiveness, and strengthens public trust.
Providing protective equipment to K9s like Titan ensures these highly trained partners are afforded the same level of protection as the officers they serve alongside.
