Through a partnership with Warrior Paws Inc. and Rucker Dog Training, Skye will undergo specialized training before working alongside victim advocates.
Once training is complete, she will provide comfort and emotional support to crime victims and others during difficult situations.
Police said the partnership also marks the first implementation of Warrior Paws’ new Community Canine Program.
Skye is still in training, but the department said residents can expect to see more of her as she prepares for her new role serving the Sandy Springs community.
