I don't know LBPD's policy regarding deployment of their K-9's, except that
the order to send the dog in has to be given by a Supervisor. And, we weren't
there so we don't know if they used other options or if there were exigent
circumstances that required immediate capture of the suspect. The incident and
the tactics will be reviewed. If this was a case of poor judgement then the
Department will do the right thing by disciplining the Supervisor that gave the
order. At any rate, the handler is devestated and yes, he has lost his
partner and a cood cop. Very sad. Yes, this was a Malinois, but does it
really
matter? Our breed is just as widely used in Law Enforcement and faces the same
risks Ranger did.
