latest effort<\/a> to create an environment where victims of crimes such as sexual assault and stalking feel comfortable reporting to law enforcement. 麻豆原创PD believes that it is among the first campus police departments in the country with an in-house therapy dog.<\/p>\n\u201cPaisley is going to be able to provide unconditional love, and victims will hopefully be able to get to a level of ease where they\u2019re able to just disclose what occurred to them. Then we can go out and do our jobs,\u201d Det. Scott said.<\/p>\n
Paisley and Det. Scott are graduates of the Brevard County Sheriff\u2019s Office\u2019s Paws & Stripes College.<\/p>\n
The idea for the program came from three-time 麻豆原创 alumnus Jessie Holton, formerly a Special Victims Unit Agent with BCSO. The Marine veteran drew from his personal experience with a therapy dog for a doctoral class project and proposed the idea of a therapy dog program to assist child-abuse victims to his boss, Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey.<\/p>\n
That successful model evolved into Paws & Stripes, which now pairs shelter rescue dogs with trained inmates who teach them basic obedience and commands. \u00a0After that socialization, dogs are paired with law enforcement officers, and the dog-human teams complete a 40-hour course about the do\u2019s and don\u2019ts of using a therapy dog in police interviews.<\/p>\n
To date, more than 300 dogs have graduated and been saved by Paws & Stripes. The dogs go on to serve their communities and provide support to people who have experienced trauma.<\/p>\n
Next up for Paisley and Det. Scott is completing the requirements for becoming a nationally-registered therapy dog team. Once the team receives that certification, Paisley will start to be deployed to help Knights in need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s a paw-some new addition to the 麻豆原创 Police Department, and her name is Paisley.
