There are many different kinds of dogs used in police work. They may be trained in tactics or detection.
Patrol dogs protect their human police partners and may be trained to track and/or apprehend suspects. They may be trained to search buildings for suspects. They may work in corrections facilities.
Detector dogs may be trained to search for narcotics, bombs, lost people, accellerants, cadavers, or contraband.
The specific type of work the dog does determines how long training takes. Training a police canine takes years. Most police departments import their dogs from Europe that have been trained in a sport such as Schutzhund, KNPV, or French Ring. They then modify the training that the dog has already received for street work. A police canine is trained in obedience, bite work, tracking, agility, handler protection, detection (Narcotics, or EOD). A lot goes into the training, most police canines are around - at least 2 years old before the canine is trained enough to hit the street. For some drug sniffing dogs, you put the drug into a towel that has no scent of it's own, then let the dog sniff the towel, then you hide the towel, then tell the dog to find the towel which you have cleverly hidden with other towels that have other things wrapped up in it. Later you move to different towel, then in a long time, soak the towl in perfume and hide it. After a VERY long training period, your dog will be able to sniff out anything you train him or her to find.
3-5 years is the norm depending on the trainability of the dog. Usualy the dog would be obtain Shutzenhund titles 1, 2 and 3 then obtain tracking and/or Police dog endorsement. If you are interested in your dog learning advanced obedience and protection skills, I would recommend that you join a Shutzenhund club in your area as a good place to start.
Until it is determined that they are thoroughly trained to do their duties AND are under the complete control of ther handlers.

Hi! It can depend on the breed of the dog. However, for the most part, the training starts when they are 6 weeks old and continues throughout their career. Each dog is trained usually 15 months to 3 years by the time they are assigned to a handler.
It really depends on what exactly you want them trained for, but some dogs are able to be fielded in three years' time.
The average police dog is trained for a span of several years. However, the exact amount of time depends on what the dog's job is and what breed of dog it is.
The exact requirements for a police dog's training will differ from place to place and on the type of work the dog is trained to do, for example, whether a dog will be used to assist in criminal apprehension or will primarily be used for detection. However, most police dogs begin training at about one year old. The basic full time training program can be as little as six to eight weeks, depending on the dog and its ability. Weekly training sessions typically follow so long as the dog is in service, which can be up to 8 or 9 years.

You should really try to start at 8 weeks old or even when it is quite young. It is much easier for a dog to learn things at a young age rather that when it is 1 year old.
