TSA K9 Ari retires at Indianapolis airport

INDIANAPOLIS — After seven years of service, a valued team member of Indianapolis International Airport (IND)’s Transportation Security Administration is retiring: explosive detection canine Ari.

According to a press release from the TSA, Ari is an eight-year-old German Shorthaired Pointer who has served at IND since 2018.

During his retirement party on Thursday, Ari’s handler, Keith Gray, along with several other TSA team members, threw Ari hundreds of tennis balls to commemorate the K9’s last training exercise.

“We’re happy to celebrate Ari, who has worked tirelessly alongside his handler to provide an additional layer of security for millions of people who have transited through Indianapolis over the years,” said TSA Indiana Federal Security Director Aaron Batt.

Batt then went on to highlight guests’ love for Ari over the years, and how he is proud to have Gray continue to care for him in the pup’s retirement.

Per the TSA, Ari will spend his retirement with Gray and another retired TSA canine, TTirado.
