UTA PD Adds Explosives Detection Dog

Kaiya spent the first years of her life as a family dog for one of the transit police officers, but it became clear that she needed a purpose and a positive outlet for her energy. She was donated to the department and now spends her days with her handler, Officer Michael Southworth, searching for explosives and practicing her skills. Kaiya recently completed a several-month training session and started work at UTA on June 18. 

Thanks Kaiya, Officer Southworth, and the rest of the UTA Transit Police Department for working hard to keep our system safe.
