If you go to http://www.k9services.com
and hit the standards link you can see the Polizeispurhundprufung-1 (patrol dog) scenario based title standards and you can also see my take on what a acceptable patrol dog should do under the patrol dog link found under Standards.
I might also mention that there are quite a few police dog apprenhensions in the cop shows that seem to abound. But, many many of them show poor tactics, poor dogs or poorly trained dogs, and even down right improper applications.
There is an acception in the worlds wildest police videos where a dog is deployed from a position of cover after announcements, with a properly positioned cover officer and a quick glimpse of a arrest team (LAPD K-9). Unfortunatly, it is used in parts as fill in (Oh and the guy in civilian garb with long hair and scuffy beard taking muzzle hits in the same program is yours truly).
Many times well thought out K-9 apprehensions are not great video for attracting numbers of people to their screens. It is not too exciting to see a well controlled well directed K-9 deployment most of the time. Hell, that's the idea. Theatrics generally mean the deal has gone sour.
I recently watched a videod and broadcast K-9 deployment for a suspect with a long list of felonies, it was done on the end of a six foot leash, the dog got into odor and the handler ran around in little circles and back and forth while his dog worked the scent cone...handler fixed on his dog and the only way he knew the dog had contact with the suspect who wasn't but 10ft. from where all the "find him,findhim,find" leash draggin' was going on was that his dog pulled the bad guy out from under a bush.
Now, I won't say that I haven't seen this scenario play out among my own people, but I can say that we had a long serious talk afterwards, usually something to the effect of finding out if they had a death wish and making sure their spouse had paid up the insurance bill because we know that that's not the way they were taught.
