The Problem of Dog-Related Incidents and Encounters

<p>Americans love dogs. There is roughly one dog for every four people in the United States and they live in a variety of relationships with humans. Because dogs are such a part of American society police routinely encounter them in the line of duty not just when responding to calls about inhumane treatment or when dogs are seen to present a danger to people. Officers encounter dogs in the course of almost every kind of police interaction with the public from making traffic stops and serving warrants to interviewing suspects and witnesses and even pursuing suspects. The Problem of Dog-Related Incidents and Encounters discusses tools practices and procedures that contribute to effective responses to dog-related incidents and encounters where dogs are present. Primary goals include ensuring public and officer safety and considering community needs and demands.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
