One of the important units of the police force is the Police K9 department. The unit has a general police compel and has the assistance of well-trained K9 canines. The K9 follow and assist their handlers and are trained dogs to give security and assist the police force for assaulting purposes. While some K9 are for reinforcement, security, and following of criminals, other K9s in the unit can recognize explosives, unlawful drugs, and opiates.
Some K9 are trained to detect bombs and explosives and help police in situations of bomb threats. Most police units select K9 handlers who have a formal education or a degree in the field of criminal justice. The K9s are official police assistant and a strike on the animal is a crime. The police K9 force has the official status of government law authorization, and it is unlawful to ambush these animals.
