"That's his specialty is explosives work and that's what we're here for, to supplement and try to help out with," said Deputy Juan Avila, Bentley's handler. "These places are so big that you need so many teams to make sure that every room, every closet, every area is swept and secured."
Agencies from across the country are assisting with safety at the Super Bowl, from the Los Angeles Police Department to the FBI. When Deputy Avila has worked with Bentley for four years. He said he's proud to be representing Milwaukee in LA.
Their days usually start at 5 a.m. and it's always different. Some days they're inside the stadium, sometimes they're at the convention center nearby with other Super Bowl events going on. When they're not working, Bentley is enjoying the ocean.
"When he's got his uniform on, and I've got my uniform on, and we're in our squad car, and it's time to work he's all business," said Deputy Avila. "He's got his nose to the ground."
The deputies don't know where they'll be assigned on Super Bowl Sunday yet, but they'll be somewhere making sure everyone going to the game is safe.
