Police o Security Dogs
The following is a list of dog breeds that are or have been used as aids in police forces. There are a number of different jobs that a police dog can do, including public-order
enforcement, illicit-substance detection, tracking, and cadaver or survivor searching. Some police forces use only one breed of dog for every one of these tasks rather than using,
for example, one breed for tracking and another for illegal-substance detection. In some cases, a single dog may be trained and utilised in a number of these tasks.
These dogs have the job of chasing a fleeing suspect and detaining the suspect until officers arrive; or restraining suspects from some action by threat of the dog
being released and causing harm. This is the traditional image of a police dog.
