  What is a police dog?


  A police dog is a dog that is trained specifically to assist police and similar law-enforcement personnel with their work.


  Today, police forces in most major cities use police dogs to track criminals, sniff out illegal materials, search buildings, and do other jobs human police officers can't do as well as a dog can. Not only are there thousands of police dogs on the job on any given day, but there are also hundreds of police dogs who have given their lives to protect and serve.


Why do we bother using police dogs at all?

  For one thing, their sense of smell is almost 50 times more sensitive than a human's. A dog can sniff out criminals, drugs, weapons, and bombs in situations where a human officer would have to search every inch, a dangerous task.

 

A police dog's work isn't all about his nose

  The intimidating growl of a well-trained German shepherd can cause many criminals to surrender instead of running or fighting.
