Collin County's new K9 technology to help sniff out crimes against children

MCKINNEY, Texas – of Collin County The Sheriff's Office has added a new member to their squad.

K9 MP Umber is a two-year-old English lab from Michigan.

Unlike other K9 deputies, Umber is specially trained in the detection of electronic storage.

The new tech-sniffing pup completed training with her handler, Lt. Langwell, this month.

Her owner says she likes to take off her collar, only likes the left side of a helicopter, and is still afraid of the sound of Velcro.

Umber was brought to the Collin County Sheriff's Office by Operation Underground Railroad, a nonprofit organization that focuses on combating human trafficking and child exploitation.

Umber will work in the Crimes Against Children and Child Exploitation Unit for Collin County.
