PIGEON FORGE â Crime fighting isnât just for humans. There are furry friends throughout the country that also help to solve crimes. Alcatraz East Crime Museum is highlighting the importance of police service animals in a new display. The exhibit will open on July 23, 2021, and as part of the exhibit, they will have on-going guest appearances from varying departments. The first of which will be the morning of the launch from 9:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m., where guests can meet local K-9âs from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI).
âPolice animals do important work and we are happy to help put a spotlight on them,â said Summer Blalock, sales and marketing manager for Alcatraz East. âWe are pleased to partner with TBI, so our guests can learn about these spectacular K-9âs and what it takes to train them.â
