Police have been using dogs in their "K-9" forces dating all the way back to the Middle Ages, when constables would use bloodhounds to help track outlaws. Even in modern times, dogs are used in police units to track down drugs, explosives, wanted criminals, and even to attack certain criminals.
Ask any police officer and they'll confirm that the dogs they work with are some of the most respected and beloved police officers out there. Police dogs are given their own badges and treated as actual members of a unit. If they are killed in the line of duty, they receive the same honors a human police officer would.
The below clip is part of a police training video that shows just how powerful and helpful these animals can be when it comes to maintaining the law. These dogs are fiercer and faster than most humans. Though the video might seem violent, everyone featured is a professional, and no one was harmed during its filming. The video is purely intended to show the amazing power of these canine heroes.
