The new calendar of explosives-detecting dogs released by the Transportation Security Administration for 2024 includes a Maine canine.
Kari, a Belgian Malinois from the Bangor Police Department that works at Bangor International Airport, made the cut for the 2024 calendar honoring a select few of the 1,000 explosives-detecting dogs around the U.S. Kari’s handler is Officer Mike Brennan, and the pair can often be seen as passengers make their way through the TSA checkpoint at the airport.
The 2024 calendar, which can be downloaded for free, features photos and fun facts about 15 dogs, who were selected from dozens of entries submitted by TSA canine teams.
