Photos: Odie the cybercrime-fighting dog

Odie the electronic storage device detection dog is introduced at a press event held Wednesday, May 4, 2016, at Anchorage Police Department headquarters. Odie, a 2-year-old yellow lab, is one of 10 dogs in the world trained to detect the chemical compounds found in electronic media storage devices. He can be used to locate potential evidence in cases involving internet crimes and child pornography. While he is assigned to trainer-handler Sgt. Aaron Whitt, his skills will be used statewide through the Alaska Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Odie was purchased through a federal grant, and recently completed training in Connecticut along with Whitt. He is named after late APD officer Barry Odin Hetlet.
