One last question, does anyone have any advice on dealing with the dept's admin to bring a more modern approach to training in a positive light (of course). Such as trying to improve in training techniques or trying different methods to get better results without trying to undermine the supervisors (authority) role. I guess with all the liability issues (we have had several "unintentional bites" on both deputies as well as citizens) as a result of our current deployment of the dogs (k9's escaping from the cars, not returning to the handler, etc). I seem to think if things don't change drastically and for the better, we won't even have a program in 5 or so years. I would hate to see a very valuable tool such as a well trained K9 (program) go by the wayside because of potential handlers buying less than quality dogs or not keeping up the "perishable skills" of both handler and K9. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Brandon
Brandon,
“Unintentional bites” can result in civil liability. Vicarious liability always gets the attention of supervisors and administrators. There is case law on these issues. http://www.k9fleck.org/index.htm
Written suggestions outlining modern methods, without attacking the present methods, should be looked at favorably if written and reviewed with liability issues in mind. You are in an area that has a wealth of expertise and information about dog training available. I hope your department has a good plan for the appropriation and training of police dogs by officers with respect to FLSA. Best of luck with your new dog………
