It depends on the situation, but all the canines that I have worked with and trained with, all are trained in what is called "Handler Protection" this is where is the handler is in a fight his canine does not need a command, but will try and defend the police officer from others. This is a great thing, the only time that this training has hinderd, is when the canine protects their handler from anyone, even someone trying to render aid.

What can a police dog do that regular dogs can't?
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.
