It depends on what they are used for. A tracking dog - bloodhound Detection dog - Labrador patrol (bite dog) - Belgian Malinois, Dutch Shepherd, or German Shepherd Usually, it's not a particular breed, but bloodlines of a breed that are the best. Police dogs are usually bred specifically for the type of work that they will be performing. It's similar to breeding show winning dogs. You would use the best of the best for breeding, then take the ones from the litter that show the most promise, and start training from there.

Well there isn't a specific breed policemen like, but most police dogs are German shepherds or Labradors.
German shepards
Another popular kind is the Belgian Malinois. They look like German Shepherds but are a little smaller and faster. And not quite as handsome imho.
Police use different breeds, depending on what they'll be using the dog for (tracking, scents, ect). While the most common is the German Shepherd, Belgian Malinois', and Blood Hounds are also used. Even the Beagle is sometimes used for drug detection. Hope this helps.
German shepherds are the most common but some use other breeds like labs or mixed breeds.
The most commonly used police dog is the Belgian Malinois (90% of the world's military and police units uses them).
The next most popular dog used (9% of all military/police units use them), is the working-line German Shepherd (which is completely different from the normal or "show-line" German shepherd).
The third most used police dog is the Dutch Shepherd, which is pretty much a Belgian Malinois with a brindle coat.

The police dog tracks a criminal by scent.
A police dog is a dog first and foremost. Picked for chertain characteristics in size and temperament, and then trained.
Killing or harming a police dog is a crime. A police dog is considered a police officer, despite not being human. Therefore by harming a police dog you are effectively harming a police officer in the eyes of the law. Police dogs are also very expensive to train and maintain. So not only would you be harming a police asset but you would also be angering the national treasury and taxpayers for wasting their money. Kicking or punching a police dog is a crime, unless the dog attacked for no reason, then it is self defence and acceptable. Otherwise you'll be jailed for harming the police dog. Killing a police dog, unless in self defence (except where the dog was set upon you by police) will also result in jail.
Question doesn't make sense. "Police dog" is a job description. "Doberman" is a breed. A police dog may well be a Doberman. Or an even bigger dog.
a police horse can be ridden and carry heavy amounts whereas a dog cannot. a dog also has a keener sense of smell :)
police planning is like a dog
