Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: The Sacramento Police Department (SPD) has specific canine (K9) selection and training requirements. One such requirement is that all K9 trainers possess qualifications and experience as required by the California Police Officer Standard Recommendations and Training (POST) guidelines for each canine.
