Equipment deficiencies must be reported to the Canine Coordinator who will oversee replacement or repair. Any injuries to or illness affecting the Police Service Dog must be immediately reported to the Canine Coordinator who will authorize all veterinary care deemed necessary. Veterinary services will be paid for by the Department. An exception will be made for emergency veterinary care, in which case preauthorization for treatment is not needed. When it becomes necessary to retire a Police Service Dog from active service, the Department will transfer ownership of the dog to the last Handler, provided the Handler wants to keep the dog. Should the Handler decline to accept the retired Police Service Dog and upon approval of the Canine Coordinator, the offer of transfer of ownership will then be presented to the dog’s previous Handler(s). Should no Handler elect to accept the dog, the Canine Coordinator will make other appropriate plans for the dog with the approval of the Chief of Police. Note: The City of Chino Police Department will sell the retired Police Service Dog dog to the Handler for $1.00 and in return the Handler agrees to provide a comfortable, humane and caring environment for the remainder of the retired Police Service Dog’s Lifelife. The Handler also agrees that the retired dog will not perform any searches or activity related to patrol or narcotic related duties.
