The Indiana State Police (ISP) Post in Indianapolis recently added a new K-9 team to the district. Trooper Hunter McCord and her K-9 partner Koda recently graduated from the ISP K-9 academy in Indianapolis.
Trooper McCord, a three-year ISP Veteran, and 1 ½-year-old German Shephard ‘Koda’ completed 12 weeks training together, in which they accumulated over 400 hours learning obedience, narcotics detection and other K-9 patrol functions. She is now certified in the detection of methamphetamine, cocaine, crack, heroin and ecstasy.
McCord and Koda were one of 11 K-9 teams that completed the training. The other 10 teams will work in various districts throughout the state. ISP currently has 36 patrol K-9 teams and six explosive detection K-9 Teams.
