Press Release
Issues: Criminal Justice
"Florida's K-9s play heroic roles in responding to emergencies, apprehending criminals, and keeping our communities safe. In Florida, back-the-blue includes supporting our K-9s that fearlessly protect their handlers and use their unique skills to help people in ways that humans cannot. If criminals choose to intentionally harm these animals, the penalties must be harsh."
