Dogs Charge Police Officer From Meridian, But He Knows What To Do

Meridian (ID) Police Department School Resource Officer David Gomez responds to a complaint of 2 vicious dogs running at large in a residential neighborhood. In 2014, the agency sent 2 officers to the class Defensive Tactics Canine Encounters, which teaches officers a use of force continuum and confidence in less lethal means during canine encounters, while still keeping the officer, innocent bystanders and the public's canine companions from harm. Animal Control Officers were not immediately available. Officer Gomez put to the test what he learned in his department training session.
