The Cobb County School District is taking steps to enhance safety in its high schools. A K-9 detection program is being expanded to all high schools in the district this school year. The program aims to detect hidden explosives and firearms.

The district will utilize highly specialized detection K-9s, including those trained to detect firearms. Last school year, the K-9s conducted numerous screenings, including bags, people, and cars. For more information on the program, including details on the training and deployment of the K-9s, readers can refer to the source.

Further details on the expanded program are available from local news sources, including demonstrations of the K-9s' training and capabilities.
