Establishes provisions relating to police canines
This bill establishes new rules for how law enforcement agencies can use police canines, directly affecting those agencies and their canine units. It prohibits the use of canines for crowd control at protests or demonstrations and bans them from biting in any situation. While these restrictions apply to crowd management and biting, the bill explicitly allows canines to continue working in search and rescue, explosives detection, and narcotics detection as long as they do not bite. Law enforcement agencies are also required to ensure that any training or use of their canines complies with these new limitations.
