How Facility Dogs Support People in the Justice System (Ep. 40)

Description:

In this episode of I’ll Allow It Nevada, we explore the role of facility dogs in the justice system. Lieutenant Michael Browett, from the Reno Police Department, joins us to share how these highly trained canines support individuals involved in the justice system.

We discuss how facility dogs are selected and trained, what sets them apart from other service animals, and the calming, supportive presence they bring to high-stress environments. Join us as we dig into how these dogs are impacting the experience of those in the justice system, one interaction at a time.
