Arlington Police to undergo mandatory Dog training

[hustleman]

Fuck off pig.

LOL... Done!

[Unicorn Jeff]

Makes me proud to live in Arlington. This is great, and I hope it spreads to other departments.

It will

[VaderTT]

LOL... Done!

LOL JK brah, had to stay with the ftp mentality.

[Baba Ganoush]

Pfft, so they're trying to get as much training as a UPS delivery guy. What a joke.

Bite prevention training is more than a 15 minute video, it also includes growing some balls in the face of a charging dog. Drawing down on one is for pussies.

They need to suit up and let their K-9's loose, then practice ways to defend themselves that don't require emptying a clip into fluffy.

FTP!

You folks are hilarious. The training was a 15 minute video that showed pictures of dogs. I'm so proud of Arlington... Hip hip Hurray!

Read the whole thing, lazy asses! Here are some things you obviously missed:

"The department is also instituting classroom instruction starting in January that will consist of 4 hours covering a variety of topics related to appropriately handling encounters with animals."

"...partnering with Animal Services..."

"The classroom instruction will be taught by our K9 team, consisting of a sergeant and three handlers."

"Options and tools, will also be presented to officers..."

"It is basically an extension of the initial video training that officers received this summer."

They are obviously doing more than the 15-minute video. Sounds like they'll have some hands-on training with actual dogs. And we know those GSD's are no joke. Is it a cure for billy badasses? No way. But, it's better than nothing.

At Oncor, I think about the best training we got was some half assed animal spray and "don't get bit" speeches. They wouldn't even let us carry good peppersparay for animals because I guess apparently a few years ago someone hosed down a poodle and put it out of it's misery with the good stuff.

Even if it was created internally it was paid for in tax dollars. Unless they volunteered, but I'm willing to bet that's not the case.

That being said, good. Any training is better than shooting 1st at Fido.

But it'd be fun to watch them let the K9s loose on the trainees...

[Bassics]

to be heard in court:

"I have been professionally trained and in my professional opinion the 3-month-old puppy lookmed like a pit-bull mix and a candidate for cropped ears and gangland tattoos and so I shot the little fucker in the belly to protect my fellow swat members from being barked at"

[Trip McNeely]

Arlington rocks.

You're correct, I thought about it after I posted and should have said "no additional cost to taxpayers".

Additional training=additional costs

APD made a 1% budget cut across the board for the last 3 years. So technically they're costing Arlington tax payers millions less than last year.

I had an old can of pepper spray I carried on certain routes and one day I used that stuff once on a Lab that wouldn't let me between a couple of fences. It just pissed it off more, he closed one eye and continued to try and eat me.

They did hand out some weak shit, like citrus spray. The noise the spray makes scared them more than the actual substance. I learned to just have something they could bite and work my way around the bad ones. People saw my technique in their yard one day and called me crazy, but I wasn't ever bit.

That citrus spray made most dogs curious. The only time I ever got bit was by a group of dogs and because I wasn't able to get to my spray. It didn't hurt but it did piss me off to the point of wanting to exact revenge.

Yeah, this is a story of a famous dog
For the dog that chases its tail will be dizzy
These are clapping dogs, rhythmic dogs
Harmonic dogs, house dogs, street dogs
Dog of the world unite
Dancin' dogs

Countin' dogs, funky dogs
Nasty dogs (Dog)
