Keeping La Porte’s K9 ChoirBoy
Cool, Safe, and Ready to Serve

A big thank-you to Sulzer for their generous contribution toward installing a K9 Heat Alarm & Alert System in the La Porte Police Department’s K9 patrol vehicle — helping keep their beloved K9 ChoirBoy safe on duty!

This life-saving system is designed for high-heat environments and:
• Monitors interior vehicle temperature & battery voltage
• Alerts handlers by text, voice, and landline before danger strikes
• Activates alarms, drops windows, and powers fans if unsafe conditions occur
• Features a 10-inch fan to circulate A/C and remove hot air quickly

Thanks to Sulzer’s support, ChoirBoy can serve the La Porte community with an extra layer of protection.

Safety Reminder: Hot cars can be deadly. Before you lock up, check the back seat for kids and pets — even a few minutes can be dangerous in Texas heat.
Let’s protect every life.
