Check out this new (free) resource available from National Canine Research Council: Police and Dog Encounters: Tactical Strategies and Effective Tools to Keep Our Communities Safe and Humane. In partnership with Safe Humane Chicago and COPS (U.S. Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services), NCRC funded and developed this new 5-video training resource to prepare law enforcement officers for interactions with dogs in the line of duty. Police and Dog Encounters is about staying safe, and it gives officers hands-on skills and information to protect themselves, the residents nearby, and the dogs they encounter in the line of duty. The videos present a clear sequence of tangible, tactical strategies to achieve these shared, critical goals. Through proper training, law enforcement officers can be prepared for safe, non-confrontational outcomes, and with training in effective responses to genuinely volatile situations, officers can effectively avoid the worse case scenarios - being injured by a dog or shooting one. Officers will also learn how to recognize the signs a dog may be present, how to avoid unnecessary encounters with dogs, and how to distinguish between warning signals and signs of friendliness when they must enter a dogs space. Commander James Russell of the Chicago Police Department says the series, goes to the heart of looking at the totality of the situation and understanding all the options we have. The videos are available at no charge.
