It's impossible to say. German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois, Doberman Pinschers and Rottweilers are the most commonly used.
There are many different breeds, and even some 'mutts' used in law enforcement work. German and Belgian Shepherds are probably the most familiar type associated with police work, but, there are many other breeds represented. Bloodhounds - Rottweilers - Beagles - Retrievers - almost any breed that has a particularly specialized talent that is associated with that particular breed (e.g.- smell - tracking - etc.) can, and will, be utilized.
Pet dogs no longer have to be registered in the UK so there is no accurate count.

I have seen many photos of police dogs being pit bulls. They have been serving the police since the late 1800's.

There are an estimated 3 to 4 million cats and dogs that are euthanized in the UK each year. Sadly, many of these animals are healthy, but unwanted.
