This section applies to all canine services detail personnel.
It is necessary to periodically allow the canine to get out of the car during the shift to take a break. This period of time allows the canine to unwind and relieve itself. Whenever possible, the canine should be given a break in a secure area not open to the public. In those instances when that is not possible, the canine shall be kept on a leash to avoid the possibility of an accidental bite.
