Sheriff Deputy releases K9 to bite handcuffed man

32. it needs to be disbanded

It's THAT bad.

There's a reason why dogs are purchased already trained. They may not have all the training they need, and until they do they can't be out on patrol. Most K9's are cross-trained in other duties like search and rescue, drug sniffing, etc., and sometimes these other things need to be taught.

This department seems to have not at all grasped how a K9 unit is supposed to be, not brought in an outside specific K9 trainer for both dogs and handlers to teach them and tried to do it on the cheap themselves with untrained far cheaper dogs and no knowledge or direction in how to train them, what equipment is necessary and how to use it, no testing of the dog or handler, etc. before putting them out on patrol. The whole thing from the top down is an exercise in how NOT to do things. And it's a disgrace.

Ugh. I have to do something else for awhile and get this horror out of head.
