THOUGHTS? The debate surrounding K-9 Bosco and Officer Ryan Kaetzel has spread throughout Northeast Ohio. The Bedford Heights police chief said Thursday he would be placing the dog with the city’s new K-9 officer.
“They are forcing me to turn in my canine today at 6:30 a.m. There is major concerns that a 7-year-old dog, who’s already starting to slow down showing signs of his hip dysplasia, can be retrained with a new handler and a six week school with all 1- and 2-year-old dogs,” Kaetzel told 19 News.An online fundraiser has racked up thousands in donations, and a police dog breeder has offered to give Bedford Heights police a trained K-9.
On July 17th, the Assistant Chief and I met with Officer Kaetzel to discuss the details regarding ending his assignment as the K-9 handler. It is important for the community to understand what the City provides and expects regarding the care of its police dog. The City pays for all expenses associated with the dog. That includes food, veterinary related expenses, collars, leashes, etc. It pays for the bi-weekly training of the dog and pays the officer 8 hours of pay for the training, even though the training routinely lasts less than a full day. If the officer goes on vacation, the City pays for the boarding of the dog.
