Types of Dogs and Specialities..

Just looking at an overseas police forces dog unit(My cousin is a police officer there )

Do you agree with the list ..??

General Purpose - German Shepherd
Drug Detection - Labrador or English Springer Spaniel
Victim Recovery/Blood Detection - Labrador or English Springer Spaniel
Firearms Recovery - Labrador or Springer Spaniel
Explosive Detection - Labrador or English Springer Spaniel
And the last one was ..
Conflict Resolution - Belgian Malinois
Belgian Malinois are used in situations where less lethal force is one of the options to secure a person in a very serious situation.

By and large yes. The BSD Malinois is now often used as the "non compliance" dog of choice by the military and police.

Faster and more athletic than the GSD.

(From the appropriate background obviously)

looks good...um wheres the dogo?lol

Watching footage of a Malinois taking down a driver of a van through a window was amazing ...

theres a bm,who visites next door to me ,stunning dog ,he was a rescue with issues,he needed a job,so to speek,he would lash out and bite often to asert his place,if you will,some what of a bully,high strung and willing to put his life on the line for you.it was a calm dogo bitch of mine that helped him chill out, along with lots of traing.he is now a cool collected confident dog who respects and sees life in a different manner.oh ..his new job is collecting cans with his owner who cant bend over,he helps her and loves it. he would look his best, rideing shot gun with his partner|!

List sounds about right to me its pretty much what is the industry standard in security aswell. But ive also got some rotties on my team as general purpose who are great at their job

Non-compliance dogs are also used as "Firearms support dogs", where you need a dog who works quickly, quietly, (doesn't need constant handler reinforcement and direction) and determinedly, who is capably of disabling/disarming or neutralising a gunman so the humans don't get shot.

I.e the dog is less lethal to the highly dangerous suspect than a bullet, but the suspect avoiding getting non-lethal injuries is not the primary concern.

Non-compliance dogs generally don't do a stand off, unlike general purpose (GP) dogs, i.e they will bite at the end of a search, not just indicate (or the gunman would just shoot the easy target dog who had given its position away), and they will bite a stationary suspect/criminal, and so have to be used with care.

Some forces use BSDxGSDs

Some forces also use Rotts as GP and non-compliance dogs

lol snap katygeorge

I used to like seeing Boxers being used by the forces - wonder why so few use them these days?

Re the list, yeah it looks about right - regarding how those breeds are being used these days.

Banned breed in the UK so nowhere I guess.

The list of dogs is not uk based..
