Cincinnati Police Officer Sued For K-9 Attack On Child

April 29, 2009.  A police K-9 deployed off leash attacked two women and a child in Cincinnati.  The police dog was supposed to be looking for a lost article.  The police procedure manual does not permit off lead deployment for this purpose.  The dog became distracted and ran into the apartment of Plaintiffs, injuring a young child in the process.  The complaint can be viewed here.
