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.
Do police dog trainers get to choose the breed of their dogs?
Yes, but they choose the dog based on the personality of it, not the breed. Most police dogs are German Shepherds and lab mixes though.
How many years of school do you need to become a police dog handler?
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.
