How does a police K9 become trained?

Answer 1

i don't know but i need this answer too so please somebody with knowledge answer this question!
Go to college and get a degree in animal behavior to make yourself more marketable. Apprentice with a police dog trainer to learn more Dog Training skills and the specific requirements of police dog training.

If your local police department has a K-9 unit, they can refer you to the trainer they use. Perhaps you can volunteer to clean the kennels in exchange for learning.

Answer 2

K-9 Handlers are selected by, but not limited to, the following conditions: * Seniority (with at least three years as an Environmental Conservation Officer) * The need for dog placement in a geographical location within one of NY state's nine regions * Past performance rating * Physical condition * The officer must not be involved in any other specialized training or duty assignments The DEC K-9 instructor interviews the families and neighbors of perspective handlers and a psychological test is also given to perspective dog handlers. Once an ECO is accepted as a Detector Dog Handler, he or she must complete a sixteen week Basic K-9 Academy. The Environmental Conservation Officers that become K-9 Handlers must take on extra work and responsibility. These officers are still required to answer complaints, conduct investigations, and completely cover law enforcement in their assigned sector. Also, each dog handler must live carefully by the policy handbook, guiding them in the proper use of the dogs, their training, care, and procedures. Strict policy, dedicated K-9 Handlers, competent supervision, and the full backing from the administration guarantees us a professional unit.

Answer 3

There are many different kinds of dogs used in police work. They may be trained in tactics or detection.

Tactics dogs protect their human police partners and may be trained to track and/or apprehend suspects. They may be trained to search buildings for suspects. They may work in corrections facilities.

Detector dogs may be trained to search for narcotics, bombs, lost people, accellerants, cadavers, or contraband.

The specific type of work the dog does determines how long training takes.
