It’s been a busy start of the year for our NFTA Transit Police K-9 Unit, and one pup has been selected for a special assignment that’s far from “ruff”. K-9 Eiko and Officer Elliot Justinger visited Utah to work during the NBA All Star Game.

Eiko is an Explosive Detection Canine and worked security detail at various events during All Star Weekend. This was their first-time working the event, and they were excited to bring a bit of Buffalo to Salt Lake City. In 2022, the pair was also selected to work the Super Bowl in Inglewood, California.
