On the same day, Aiello also attended the oath-taking ceremony and received the police badge.
It is understood that Aiello was placed in the Arizona State Police Department last April, and for a year, it has been the mascot of the department, and the purpose of assigning it is to test some drugs, responsible for using the "sense of smell" at the police station to detect illegal drugs.
In this regard, experts pointed out that Aiello's type of lizard has a very sensitive sense of smell and is better used than police dogs when searching for and detecting banned drugs, so it is deeply trusted by colleagues.
Colleagues at the police station say reptiles have a very sensitive sense of smell and are sometimes more capable of detecting drugs than police dogs.
