96th SFS services showcased for families at airport
Staff Sgt. Matthew Helma, a 96th Security Forces Squadron military working dog handler from Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., is restrained by Arko while wearing a controlled aggression suit, to simulate to on-looking children and parents how a dog captures a fleeing suspect, during a K-9 explosives/narcotics detection demonstration, at the “Take Our Daughters and Sons To Work Day” event April 23 at the Destin/Fort Walton Beach Airport. Staff Sgt. Tatiana Carbocci, another Eglin MWD handler, held Arko’s leash. Among the visuals SFS provided were: exploration of police cars and prohibited items static displays; an x-ray with prohibited items demonstration; and explosives detection systems and checked baggage explosive detection systems tours.
