DENVER — A bill that would modify the Class 4 felony of aggravated cruelty to animals to include law enforcement animals progressed in the Colorado Senate on Monday afternoon.
In the past three years, seven people have been sentenced for the crime of cruelty to a service or police animal — or about 2% of all animal cruelty sentences, according to the bill's fiscal note. “The injury or death of a law enforcement animal results in significant setbacks in crime detection or deterrence," she said. “These animals are really part of the law enforcement team. So, House Bill 1074 expands the definition to include any animal used by law enforcement to protect the public.”
"That was a hard pill to swallow — that my best friend, my partner, my family member was killed and pretty much goes unnoticed," Oliver said."I don’t think people understand how important and valuable these K-9s are to our community.
Oliver's coworker Jim Valbert also spoke in front of the committee Monday. The deputy said he has been in law enforcement for about 35 years, with 25 as a K-9 handler. On April 11, 2022, Ronnie Hancock and K-9 Jinx responded to a call where a man had reportedly brandished a weapon and was causing a disturbance in Manitou Springs.
