Several of you have sent us links to this story<\/a> about Jared Goering, a disabled 19-year veteran who was ticketed for having his service dog on the boardwalk in North Wildwood, NJ.<\/p>\n

Goering said, “Just like any veteran with disabilities with a service dog, to come back and be harassed and shown no respect, it upset me – it really bothered me. I was up most of the night thinking about it.”<\/p>\n

A North Wildwood police officer issued Jared and his wife a summons because of the dog. Goering said, \u201cI expected to get more respect from him because of the jobs that we both have to do.”<\/p>\n

“He mockingly asked if all veterans get service dogs,” said Jared\u2019s wife, Sally Goering, \u201chis dog is medically necessary and he is a service dog.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

North Wildwood police officials say there are no pending charges, but that there are other circumstances surrounding the case.<\/p>\n

The mayor of North Wildwood says they will issue a formal apology, if appropriate, pending the outcome of the investigation.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Too late. The officer’s attitude is indicative of a training problem among the police force of North Wildwood.<\/p>\n
