Introducing PSD Kola! Meet PSD Kola—one of the sweetest, most hardworking gals to ever wear the badge. Born in the Netherlands, this spirited canine made the transatlantic journey to Calgary, Alberta, where she began an extraordinary career with the Calgary Police Service.
For over a decade, Kola served with unwavering dedication across Calgary and its surrounding areas. A trusted partner to multiple handlers, she quickly earned a reputation as a tireless workhorse and a loyal teammate. Her keen nose and sharp instincts made her an indispensable part of countless high-profile operations and public events.
Kola’s impressive résumé includes sniffing duties at the Calgary Stampede, Calgary Flames games, and security details for visits from United States Homeland Security and the Secret Service. In 2023, she played a vital role in securing the World Petroleum Congress, and just this past June, she was part of the elite sniffer team at the G7 Summit, conducting thorough baggage and vehicle checks for international dignitaries.
PSD Kola exemplified loyalty, courage, and excellence in service. As she heads into a well-earned retirement filled with belly rubs, cozy naps, and endless cuddles, she leaves behind a legacy of dedication and love that will be deeply missed by her CPS family.
Thank you for your outstanding service, Kola—you’ve truly earned your rest!
