Meet Rico, the golden lab mix who’s officially joined the Bartholomew County Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force as a specialized Electronic Storage Detection K9. Trained to sniff out hidden digital evidence like SD cards and USB drives by detecting chemical compounds in their adhesives, Rico fills a critical gap where human investigators might miss crucial clues. Partnered with Detective Jarod Aspenson, Rico recently completed advanced training and is now ready to assist law enforcement across south-central Indiana. Beyond evidence detection, Rico also provides comfort to survivors during traumatic investigations and court appearances. Funded by the ICAC Task Force and Our Rescue, this unique partnership represents a powerful new front in the fight against child exploitation and human trafficking.
