Omaha Police Officer, K-9 helping with Super Bowl security

Posted

OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — On Sunday, the Chiefs will take on the Eagles at Super Bowl 57 and an Omaha team is there to make sure the event is a safe one.

An Omaha Police Officer and K-9 Dominic, who are trained in explosive detection are there to help.

The pair got in last Friday after a two-day drive and they'll be there through Monday doing sweeps through events and helping at checkpoints.

On game day they'll be at one of the checkpoints.

"It's a big operation here. It's kinda cool the department gets to support a big event like this, a national event, and partner with TSA and with the K-9s," said Officer David Staskiewicz.

K-9 Dominic seems to be having a good time along the way. He has his own Twitter account and has shared plenty of pictures from their time in Glendale, Arizona.
