I'm sure this is done with the best of intentions, but I'm not sure how some traumatized kid will react to being handed a stuffed dog. There is a whole shelter full of real dogs. Why not offer to pay for the dog if an officer or other employee would volunteer to go on a call-out list? They'd even be better off letting them pet one of the friendlier K9s than a stuffed animal. https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2018/07/11/lmpd-push-toys-comfort-traumatized-children/775420002/
