Report
Summary
Canine Bbobo is an eight-year-old female Belgian Malinois that was partnered with Officer Liguori in 2013. The request to purchase Canine Bbobo is being made by Officer Liguori because canine Bbobo is unable to function in her capacity as a police service dog due to physical limitations related to age. The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is the owner of canine Bbobo and has agreed to retire her due to her age and transfer ownership to the City of Phoenix. Officer Liguori agrees to accept full responsibility and liability for canine Bbobo until her death, upon which the death certificate will be forwarded to the TSA as required per the cooperative agreement between the City of Phoenix and the TSA.
