The Columbia Police Department would like to formally introduce the cities newest K9 Unit, "Cally".
After losing the previous K9 "Gunner" due to illness, Columbia Police were left without a K9 for road duty. Last year funds were secured by donation for a new animal, and in September of last year K9 handler Officer Trevor Foster was sent to Milan, Tennessee where he received Cally from trainer Jay Morris and the United States Police Canine Association.
Cally is a 2-year-old yellow Lab specifically trained in drug detection. She, along with Officer Foster, have already aided in several arrests and investigations in Columbia and have been instrumental in aiding other agencies in Adair and surrounding counties when a K9 Unit has been requested.
Columbia Police say they're looking forward to many years of using Cally as she serves the city of Columbia and law enforcement.
