Show - arm and on command the dog leaps through the air and bites the sleeve and won't let go until ordered. If threatened with a weapon, the dog will attack on his own. Dogs also learn to keep suspects cornered and hold them without attacking until the suspect is taken into custody. Lt. Dorrans believes the trained command dogs bite and hold better than vicious dogs. The vicious dog bites out of fear and will often run off if threatened, he said. The command dog can mingle with crowds, with no fear that fellow officers or strangers wil be bitten. r".Mr:r .7 :1:- - 477."7,P1'.'

The dog was brought up and released into the apartment. On command he sniffed out a closet where the suspect was hiding. An officer called out: -Police officers. We know where you're hiding. Come out from behind that door with your hands up or we'll shoot." Within seconds the man came out as ordered. Everyone gave a sigh of relief. Nobody hurt, suspect in custody, thanks to the help of the dog. The files are filled with other cases units have provided where the K-backup service. A good example is the burglary suspect hiding in a warehouse. The dog can sniff out the suspect and hold him at bay until the officer approaches. Often the officer must command the dog to attack if the suspect is armed or chooses to fight rather than surrender. Dogs also play a valuable role in crowd or riot control.

I rode several graveyard shifts with efficient Dep. the Roger Taylor and his dog. Sarge, and I saw enough to indicate just how useful these officers are. A typical shift begins with Roger at the microphone of his car radio, calling Dispatch: "2 kilo 1, 1041," he says. 10-2 kilo 1, time 2200 hours," replies the dispatcher. (Like many agencies, the sheriff's office uses the standard 9 and 10 codes to convey information and identify problems. Roger's opening transmission meant that he was coming on shift. The reply, "10-4,- " is simply an acknowledgement.) I buckled my seatbelt and locked back into the cage. Sarge was pacing back and forth, ready to go to work. During the next several hours we issued a ,couple of traffic citations, helped out a motorist or two, helped with traffic control at some auto accidents and, ironically, answered a call on a barking dog disturbing the neighborhood. Rather dull night, I mused. The notion had Just passed through my mind when the dispatcher called. An irate, drunken husband had just fired a shot at his wife. She fled to a neighbor. The suspect was barricaded in an apartment. "Use " 'extreme cautions, the dispatcher called. We hardly needed to be reminded. The apartment door was open and the man was hiding inside but where?
