The Jupiter Police Department this week welcomed their newest member of the team...K9 Koda.
The two-year-old Labrador Retriever and her handler, Agent Paul Bruno, completed their two-week long course and are ready to head out into the field to protect and serve the Jupiter community.
Koda is trained and certified in electronic storage device detection but is also trained to comfort individuals who've experienced a traumatic incident.
The police department says Koda will mainly be working in child exploitation cases and search warrant investigations including Internet Crimes Against Children.
The non-profit Operation Underground Railroad is fully funding Koda's expenses. They are dedicated to cracking down on human trafficking and child exploitation.
