## Leash and control

Canines shall remain leashed during routine public interactions and foot patrol. A long line may be used for approved searches. Release is permitted only for a lawful authorized assignment consistent with handler training and DPS force policy. Canine mechanics never replace a handler's duty to maintain control.
