Utah’s New K-9 Tech Detectives | Salt Lake City News

Utah’s Department of Corrections just added two high-tech K-9s, Cypher and Glitch, trained to sniff out hidden electronics—phones, SD cards, even tiny gadgets like a Gabb Watch buried under layers of clothing. These dogs can find contraband in minutes where human searches take hours, making them game-changers for probation officers monitoring thousands—including 1,700 sex offenders with strict device bans. Their skills extend beyond probation, aiding local police, the FBI, and prison security to combat illegal communications and violence. With five electronic detection dogs now serving Utah, these remarkable canines are proving that sometimes, the best tools aren’t made by humans—they’re sniffed out by dogs.
