Trinity Area School District adds police K-9 to increase campus security
WASHINGTON, Pa. Sept 5 2018 – Increased security in the Trinity Area School District will include the addition of a police K-9.
Trinity’s K-9 handler will spend six to eight weeks in Florida at Police Service Dogs, Inc. to get one-on-one training with the dog.
Officials have an idea of which dog the district will receive, but it has to meet the handler before a final decision is made.
The dog impressed staff by finding hidden explosives that were planted in a locker.
“We see this as another layer to deter any dangerous issues and identify any dangerous issues,” superintendent Michael Lucas said.
The dog, which will be named Hiller for the Trinity Hillers, will join seven armed police officers the district already has.
