Recognizing K-9 officer Inka for her outstanding service, dedication, and contributions to the safety and security of Washingtonians.
This resolution (HR 4647) is a ceremonial recognition of Inka, a German Shepherd K-9 officer who served with the Washington State Patrol. It commemorates her seven years of service, including conducting thousands of security searches at Washington State Ferries terminals and the Capitol Campus, preventing disruptions to public safety. The resolution specifically honors her contributions to protecting Washingtonians and institutions, and expresses appreciation for her role alongside handler Trooper Alishan Nomani. As a symbolic resolution (not a policy bill), it has no binding effect but formally celebrates Inka's retirement in April 2025.
