Dog Policy
After killing a pet, police in Austin have changed their policy on dealing with dogs. Not shooting them on sight seems like a good policy.

LEOs have to realize dogs have defending the pack and their territory ingrained in their DNA. Putting down a dog for doing what it’s supposed to should always be the last resort.

We have a pretty decent chief of police here in Austin, he came here because the APD had a kinda bad record and he wanted to work in a city where he felt he could make a difference to the police department.
I don’t always agree with him, but I think he’s done a good job for good reasons.

But Mike, that’s their big chance to teach somebody a lesson!

This does seem like a pretty good try to get stuff fixed.

all new cadets will be trained about every breed of dog and their different demeanors by a designated dog trainer. During the two-hour course, cadets will learn new force options that can be deployed in situations involving dogs or other animals, as well as methods for approaching and retreating from hostile animal situations.
