The law creates statewide training and certification rules for police canine units. The commission works with the State Police and local canine units to set the rules. Standards cover initial and ongoing certification, record-keeping, and safety for fentanyl exposure. The commission must consult canine trainers, law enforcement, doctors, and veterinarians, and publish the standards in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. These changes take effect 180 days after enactment.
The law expands who counts as a police animal. It now covers animals used by state and local police, port authority police, Capitol Police, corrections, the Attorney General, county and municipal agencies, fire departments, and search-and-rescue units. It includes dogs and horses used for accelerant, bomb, narcotics, search and rescue, and tracking work. It applies whether the animal is on duty or off duty. These changes take effect 180 days after enactment.
