Is it worth going to the local station and explaining that he seems to be scared of their uniforms and asking if someone in their dog department can work with him on it? |
More then likely it was the "uniform" that set Zac off. As for going to the local station and explaining (why he acted the way he did)....I personally would not do this unless of course the officers wrote something about his reactions to them in their report. As you were a party in this report, you could request a copy from the PD...some PD's charge a nominal fees to obtain a copy of the report. The reason being is because they might not have mentioned his reactions at all in their report and with you going in there and "explaining" something that they (Desk Sgt, Patrol Supervisor, etc) did not even know happened - is definitely not in yours or Zac's best interest and might just put the officers who responded on the spot.
If your local police department has a K-9 unit - then I would attempt to contact that particular officer.
Better yet......go visit the local fire department. Firemen (who wear uniforms also) are usually great and very receptive when it comes to the public - they usually have alot more down time in between calls .....unlike most officers who are normally responding to calls for service on a pretty steady basis.
