On
12-4-2006, Officer Riggs, a one year old black Labrador Retriever joined
the University of Pittsburgh Police Department as a new officer specializing
in explosives detection. Officer Riggs and his partner Officer David Nanz,
a ten year veteran of the police department, recently graduated from the
Von der haus Gill K-9 Academy in Ohio. The training and certification
of Officer Riggs has enabled him to detect over 25 explosive odors, enhancing
the safety of the campus population. The University of Pittsburgh Police
is grateful to the Department of Homeland Security Region 13 Counter Terrorism
Task Force, and Allegheny County District Attorneys office for providing
funding for the purchase and training of Officer Riggs.
