On December 14, 2022, at approximately 11 a.m., a Winnipeg Police Service K9 unit was at Samuel Burland School as part of a classroom visit when a student was bit by a police dog.
The child suffered an injury and was provided with medical care before being transported to a hospital as a precaution and for treatment.
The involved canine is a single-purpose drug detection dog and not trained in aggression or apprehension.
We are investigating the matter, and the police dog has been removed from active service until a review has been completed.
