According to Montville police, Harrison has received a two-week unpaid suspension as well as the loss of a week’s vacation time for the death of Beny.
While the incident has undoubtedly affected the department in a negative way, local residents feel the case represents a clear double standard.
“‘He received a two-week unpaid suspension and a loss of 40 hours of vacation,’” Montville resident Billy Setter stated on social media. “What happens if anybody else kills a K9 ‘officer?’”
“Right Billy Setter, if I shoot a police dog, I would be charged with murder of a police officer, because the dog is considered part of the police force,” one man replied. “Cops though are held to a different standard and think they are above the law.”
Just last month, a K9 officer in North Carolina died after being left inside a hot police cruiser also, resulting in a minor suspension for the offending officer.
Similarly, residents immediately noted a double standard in the situation as well.
