In The Moment ... December 17, 2018 Show 481 Hour 2

The newest member of the Sioux Falls Police Department is neither man nor woman, but it has a name thanks to area school children. Agent 605 was chosen over Boomer and Trax in an effort to give the SFPD's new bomb robot an identity.

Sgt. Terry Matia discusses the contest which helped the robot, which was funded by a Homeland Security grant, find a name. 

Lori Walsh is the host and senior producer of In the Moment.
