Police dogs should be abolished. They only exist to intimidate people and give police a free pass to violate the rights of people by giving them an excuse to search people that is somehow not considered bullshit despite being as reliable as a dowsing rod.
Sucks that this one died because the police couldn’t even take care of their job pet.
They’re not even good for search-and-rescue? I remember them getting out the dogs to look for lost hikers with decent results but maybe that’s just us mountain people shit. You’re on the money about the aggression / intimidation stuff though.
Search and Rescue dogs are generally owned and trained by specialized dog trainers, not the cops. The scent-tracking skills for following people are differently trained from drug and explosives detecting dogs Basically a search dog needs to walk towards and follow what they smell, and a detecting dog needs to sit down when they catch a smell so they have different training methods.

A friend of my mom’s used to train dogs for search and rescue and he became an fbi agent. He had great success stories about his dogs working along the waterways in eastern Tennessee.

They also exist for propaganda. Every time a cop murders someone reddit blows up with pictures of adorable police dogs in training

Generally these search and rescue dogs are completely different dogs. They are highly effective, but trained different than protection dogs.
