What can police dogs do?
A police dog may be trained to do one special thing, or a few different things. Common K-9 jobs include:
- Searching for drugs (for example, in prisons or during arrests)
- Searching for explosives
- Searching for crime scene evidence
- Chasing and holding suspects
- Making suspects less likely to fight police because of fear that the dog will be released (this is called "bark and hold" - the dog barks aggressively to scare the suspect while its handler holds its leash)
- Protecting police officers
