Coronado Center Auditorium

Hot Springs Village welcomed a new officer this year – K9 Officer Nala. Most Villagers have heard her story by now, but not many have actually seen her in action.

HSV Audubon welcomes Nala, her handler, Officer Elvis Caple, and Police Chief Kristi Bennett for a presentation on Dec. 12, 10 a.m., at the Coronado Center auditorium.

Nala is a 2-year-old Belgian Malinois, who has been through training in search and rescue, article recovery, and drug detection. Chief Bennett said that Officer Nala has already been in on a couple of drug busts.

Many community groups have stepped up to make sure Nala is well equipped and healthy.

The officers will discuss Nala’s duties and capabilities, and conduct a demonstration of her skills.
