Hickenlooper Signs Law Enforcement Dog Training Law

Governor Hickenlooper signed a bill on Monday, which requires new training for law enforcement personnel.

The new bill requires all Colorado law enforcement officers to be trained in how to deal with dogs.

Colorado has seen several police shootings of dogs, over the past year, most of which likely could have been avoided.

Law enforcement agencies were sought out during the creation of the bill.

It does allow officers leeway if they believe that they or others are in danger.
