5 more universities get bomb-sniffing dogs in Ohio program
COLUMBUS (AP) — Five more universities around Ohio are receiving bomb-sniffing dogs as officials expand a state program that makes more of those canines available for safety needs on and off campuses.
The University of Toledo, Kent State University, Ohio University and Central State University are each getting a dog trained to detect explosives. Rex, the German Shepherd going to Cleveland State University, will receive extra training to be part of general patrol operations, according to Ohio Homeland Security.
Youngstown State, Ohio State and Bowling Green State universities received bomb dogs through the pilot program over the summer.
