In light of the discussion about protection on another thread, this is an excellent video to highlight the differences between types of working and sport protection dogs, and what is asked of them.
The MWDs in the video show good obedience and restraint during the work. As you can see, though, they are not taught to "out". They have to be removed from the decoy, with force when necessary. One dog has to be carried away to a distance where he can collect himself. The Armed Forces, European police forces, and many domestic police forces do not want to compromise solid biting by teaching the dog to let go. This may not be practical with a PPD, as the goal for a PPD owner is to not have contact with a threat. If the threat retreats or, God forbid, the dog bites an innocent, you want to be able to call the dog off.
Of course, in sport, the obedience would have to be tighter and the dog must "out", even when called out from a distance, with no contact from the handler.

I found the difference between the type of work performed by these dogs and by sport dogs to be interesting. Much less flash, very direct, and as you say, no out.
The little female Mal seemed like quite the live wire, she was clearly thrilled to be biting the heck out of something.
