Today we are announcing our newest
member and that is canine Boomer.
Boomer is a golden retriever and
is our service dog as well as
our new bomb detection dog.
Little bit about Boomer he's
his handler is detective.
Stephanie Neill,
who was chosen to be the next handler,
the dog, Boomer and
handler are assigned to the bomb unit.
Boomer, interestingly enough is originally
from Colombia and understands Spanish.
Capacity as well interacting with kids in
our school district and community members.
And it is a tremendous way to
interact with the community.
You know, dogs, we now know break
down tremendous barriers and
help with relationships as well.
Boomer and
detective Neil have successfully
completed their extensive training.
They are certified in explosion

And this fills a gap that
we've had in Wichita for
a long time where we have not
had a canine bomb detection dog.
