This is insane

What about the citizens that the Fairfax County Police have traumatized?

Do they get a dog too? 

Meet the police dogs helping officers heal from PTSD

Police dogs have been around for more than a century, sniffing out criminals, detecting explosives, searching for victims and guarding officers and property. Today, K9s are deployed across the country and in most branches of law enforcement, including the TSA, the FBI and Customs and Border Protection. There are so many trained dogs in the field that there doesn’t seem to be an accurate count of how many are on active duty in the United States, let alone in police forces around the world.

But the five new recruits at the Fairfax County, Va., police department have a special mission — to help police officers suffering from psychological trauma and disabled officers with everyday tasks.
