The Police Service Dog
from:Each day, the role of working dogs throughout the world becomes
more demanding. These dogs are used for tracing criminal links
and have been useful in solving various criminal cases. These
dogs are usually accompanied by a police officer to the scene of
the crime.
These dogs are trained specifically to assist police officers in
the criminal case. These dogs are usually referred by the term
K9, which sounds like the word canine.
Due to their uniqueness, these dogs are taken special care and
are kept in specifically built dog houses. In many countries the
killing of a police dog is considered a very serious crime and
anyone found guilty of this will be harshly punished. In some
cases the killing or injury of police service dogs are
considered to be equal to the killing or injuring a police
officer.
Furthermore, a police service dog killed while on duty is
traditionally given a full police funeral or burial, similar to
that for a police officer. Some of the functions performed by
police service dogs are as follows:
1. Police order enforcement dog
In this case these dogs are used to enforce public order by
chasing and holding suspects, or detaining suspects.
2. Tracking
It is referred to locating of suspects or finding missing
persons and objects.
3. Detecting illicit objects
Thee dogs are used to detect illicit substances such as drugs or
explosives which may be carried by a person.
4. Cadaver dogs
These dogs are trained in detecting the odor of decomposing
bodies. The nose of a dog is sensitive that it can even detect a
human body that is under the water.
Police service dogs need to be trained professionally and proper
care must be taken so that they can be useful during police
investigation. Equal care should also be taken in training
police service dog handlers.
It should be taken into consideration that the functioning of
dogs is different to that of human behavior. Therefore, it
becomes necessary that the dog handler is professionally trained
in understanding all the behaviors of the police service dogs in
various circumstances.
A Dog handler is a special police officer who is in charge of
the training and handling of well trained police dogs. The level
of training and certification for police dog handlers and police
dogs should constantly evolve several challenges and has become
more progressive as well. There are various institutes which
impart training of police dog handlers.
A person in this institute has to go through both theoretical as
well as practical training. Seminars, trainings and
certifications are being offered through the American Police Dog
Tactics which is usually open to any law enforcement, military
as well as search and rescue units. Apart from handling the
police dogs the living standard of these police dog handlers is
even taken into consideration.
Becoming a police service dog handler does not require any
formal education, but an apprenticeship under an established
handler and an adherence to a code the ethics are important
something's required to become a professional handler.
