New K-9 Annie Joins Capitol Protection | Boise News

Annie, an 18-month-old black Labrador, has officially joined the Idaho State Police’s Capitol Protective Services as the newest explosive detection K-9, pairing with Trooper Tamara Rose. Though still in training, Annie will soon help secure state facilities and events — a role critical for public safety, as only K-9s can reliably sniff out explosives or drugs. She steps into the legacy of Kimber, the previous explosive detection dog who passed away after four years of service. With eight K-9s total — six for drug detection and Annie as the second explosive specialist — the force is ramping up its security strategy. Annie and Rose aim to be fully certified and operational by the start of the 2027 legislative session, ready to patrol with precision and purpose.
