Summary
The FETCH Act amends the 1968 Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act so that money from the Edward Byrne Justice Assistance Grant can be used for police K‑9 programs. It covers buying dogs, training, veterinary care, equipment, housing, insurance and even retirement costs. This expands resources for law‑enforcement agencies that rely on canine units.
