K-9 dogs help police officers by chasing down and catching fleeing suspects. Also they are used to see and smell things that the officers cant see or smell. They also help police by sniffing the ground for a suspect that tried to run and hide.
One great thing is they can pursue easily when officers cannot. In dust and other conditions that limit visibility the dog has the advantage in the chase.
Another great thing is, if a suspect is in a building or a hard to get to area, cops can send the dog while they patrol the outside and if the dog finds someone then the cops know how and where to risk going in from in the hard to reach area/building
