Assisting Officers

Properly trained police dogs assist officers with searching buildings and areas for unauthorized persons. They help track criminals that are fleeing or assist in tracking and locating lost persons. Another great use is a dog's nose. Their sense of smell helps Law Enforcement search for hidden explosives, narcotics, and evidence of crimes.

Police often have criminals fleeing from serious crimes and arrests. Police dogs assist by pursuing and apprehending with minimum force to apprehend on command and in the protection of the police K9 handler, other officers, and the public.

Properly trained police dogs give law enforcement officers one of the finest non-lethal aids in the prevention and detection of crime.
