Arlington police say officers will undergo training to learn how to better understand dog behavior, including how to identify dangerous animals.
In a news release Tuesday, the department said they instituted mandatory training that began over the summer and will soon include additional hands-on courses.
The goal is to teach officers non-lethal options for handling dogs, the department said, based on an understanding of how dogs bark, approach people and other clues.
"In the end, improved officer confidence with appropriate animal-handling reactions will go a long way toward increasing the public confidence in our response to situations that involve dogs," said Sgt. Christopher Cook, with the Arlignton Police Department.
In October, the Fort Worth Police Department implemented similar training for their officers after a police officer shot and killed a family's dog that was not acting aggressive.
