BAPD Names Their New Dispatch Dog With The Public's Help

Broken Arrow police asked for help with naming their new 911 dispatch dog.

The department said on social media that the male Blue Heeler needed a name, and the public responded. His new name is Koda.

"We would like to thank our wonderful community for submitting names and helping us choose the perfect one," they said on their Facebook page.

Due to popular demand, Koda will be at the Broken Arrow Animal Shelter at 11:30 a.m. Friday, March 29.

"The address is 4121 East Omaha Street Broken Arrow, OK 74014. This is on 51st Street, between 209th East Avenue and 225th East Avenue. There, you will be able to meet him and pet him," the post states.

Officers say they're unsure about his age, but he's in good health. They also say the one-time stray is quickly adjusting to "the spoiled life!"

They say he loves going on car rides and taking walks.

The dog is also quiet and has good manners and likes to lay under the dispatch consoles to watch everything going on.

Police think he'll make a great addition to any family once he's ready for adoption.
