Are Police dogs considered officers of the law?Or just equipment?
I heard they are not considered officers of the law at all and are just equipment. They are put into the line of duty just like human officers and are living breathing(expensive) creatures. But are they really just some equipment?Don't they get any special treament? I meant they are loyal, protective, and will do anything for their handlers.To me its not right to think of them as equipment.But thats IMO.
Are police dogs considered officers of the law? Or just equipment?
Laughter-My question seemed pretty clear to others. It was simple. Are they officers of the law or not.
I was talking with some people on a GSD board and they were saying that police dogs were NOT officers of the law or considered officers and that they were just equipment.
I am just trying to clear it up because I always thought they were officers of the law also. Are there any sites that show proof of a dog being an officer of the law.

I've worked directly with police dogs. They are considered fellow officers. They are taken extremely well of. They are never just property or equipment. Most are trained with German language.

they at the instant are not. that's the reason they're oftentimes placed into place the place they're a danger, the place it does no longer be prudent to apply someone. many police canines die each and every 365 days, as a fashion to maintain and take care of their human companions. They do, regardless of the undeniable fact that, deserve appreciate as being area of a team, and their skill, braveness and loyalty is admirable. yet, they're nevertheless animals, and could be seen that. in case you ever spent any time with a working ok-9, you will see that they stay a miles extra spartan life than abode pets. they're "working canines", and don't get a lot in the way of perks. they do no longer gets a commission extra time.
