Most likely because they love dogs and want to be part of the police force i guess
The most obvious answer, for me, is that police dogs can respond consistently and quickly to commands. Police dogs also know their chain of command: they are not dominant. Depending on what the police dog has been trained for, they can also detect bombs, drugs, cadavers. These dogs are also trained to apprehend persons (only when told by their handler), and are trained to do so in a way that will not allow for the suspect to sue the handler/police agency.
Because dogs are pack animals. They're genetically programmed by nature to live in packs, or groups. A lone or depressed dog can die of heartache. There are many recorded cases of police dogs laying down and just dying upon the death of their police handler in the line of duty.
All police canine handlers are first and foremost police officers. Therefore you need only pass the requirements to be a police officer to become employed. THEN, you may wish to become a handler, and if selected, you and the canine will attend a training school. Depending on your skill and that of the dog this may last for several weeks or more, and you are always subject to ongoing refresher training.
If you were threatening or acting in a manner that the dog believed was threatening. You should contact a local attorney for the best information..answer 2 In most jurisdictions, Police are allowed special powers forbidden to the ordinary citizens. The power of arrest for example.In the particular case of dogs, the dog might accidentally bite someone, and that would be considered a simple accident. (Police, other than the dog handler, themselves are often the subject of bites from Police dogs.) However if a dog handler encouraged a persistent and vicious attack upon a person who was merely a bystander, that could be a cause for action.Excessive is an important word. It means a force greater than that needed to resolve the situation.
