So according to the same department that would rather skew results in their favor claims 10,000+ dogs killed by cops.
I bet the most accurate number is quite a bit higher
That’s what most people are thinking. Broaden it to other animals too.

I wish I could be surprised by this
I don’t know why my dog hates the delivery person so much but they should put that hatred towards cops.
With how they like to pound on doors instead of knock, I imagine my dogs would especially hate cops.
Paywall.
Any pattern to which breeds are most likely to be killed?
Not a direct response to your comment, just additional information related to breeds:
There have been multiple instances of cops killing small dogs like pomeranian and chihuahuas while they’re locked inside a fence they didn’t need to pass through to access the front door, and multiple instances of cops killing dogs to homes they had no legal reason to be at.
Honestly, the rules of any website prevent me from properly expressing the kind of violence I’d like to enact on the time of person who just haphazardly kills a helpless animal, which is a consistent pattern with LEOs.
A few free ways around paywalls, region-blocking, adblock-blocking, and URL glitches:

poor layout, quick-loading, spotty uptime, blocks major newspapersIf there are other workarounds, please let me know.
The whole thing isn’t paywalled, there are sources before you hit the block. One of which cites the DOJ as saying police kill between 25 and 30 dogs a day.
At that point, I think the pattern is “dogs encountered by cops”.
