That was my understanding to. If I as a civilian kill a police dog, I will be charged as if I killed a police officer.
The Federal Law Enforcement Animal Protection Act (from 2000) makes the assault, maiming or killing of a police service animal (dogs, horses) punishable with a fine of at least $1000 (not enough!) and as much as 10 years in prison. This law replaced and supercedes all previous state laws on the books.
