The FETCH Act of 2026 authorizes federal funds for police dog programs under the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program.
The FETCH Act of 2026 amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to allow the use of Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program funds for police dog programs. This includes acquiring police dogs, training, equipment, housing, and other routine care costs. The bill also covers medications, veterinary care, insurance, dog food, and costs after the dogs retire from service.
The filed bill text is too short for analysis.
