Law Would Increase Punishment For Death Of Law Enforcement Animals

In Missouri, breaking out the window of a police cruiser has a greater punishment than killing a law enforcement animal. State Senator Tony Luetkemeyer, of northwest Missouri’s Parkville has filed a bill that aims to change this. Under his proposal, killing a Missouri law enforcement animal would be a felony.

If a person seriously injures a police animal to the point of requiring vet care, the person could be charged with a felony.
