Navigation Bill to support retired police dogs moves
A proposal to provide subsidized veterinary care for retired law enforcement dogs is now moving in the Florida House.
The House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Subcommittee voted 14-0 on January 18 to approve HB 25 by Rep. Sam Killebrew, R-Winter Haven.
“Law enforcement dogs receive extensive training and may serve in a law enforcement role for approximately six to 10 years,” Killebrew said. “A retired law enforcement dog may have complex medical needs and may require additional, or more specialized veterinary care.”
