dogs are patrolling the streets in Ogden Last December the first of three German shepherd guard dogs arrived at the Ogden City Police Department from what used to be East Germany and so far have met the department's expectations e According to Sgt Jon Greiner dog coordinator the cost of each dog and transportation to Ogden was $3700 with a guarantee for a full refund if they do not work out So far there have been no complaints "American-trainedogs of equal abilities cost between $6000 and $8000 and even at that price are scarce" said Greiner "The only drawback to the dogs is that their handlers have to learn commands in German to communicate" Fears that the dogs would be too vicious even for police have proved unfounded "These dogs are trained not to bite unless they or their handlers are attacked" Greiner said "A dog will knock a guy down they weigh an average of 100 lbs and scare the hell out of him but he won't bite if the guy isn't aggressive "We used to have dogs we called 'alligators' who were all teeth and their only use was in crowd control They were trained to be mean but we and Tribune Region& Desk: brother staged a series of holdups in Pueblo earning themselves the nicknames "The Baby Banold dits" Their crime spree ended when a sheriff's deputy who reportedly was upset that the boys had stolen his gun and shield shot Chet Gonce several times after Gonce already had been shot by the sheriff The shooting left Gonce crippled for life and outraged Pueblo residents Six years later Gonce's father shot and killed the deputy and was found not guilty of murder by reason of insanity Gonce never was charged in the robberies but later served a 4- year prison term for helping his brother escape prison His brother was serving 14 years in prison for the

Suspension Put on Probation 2 5 Window Shot Out of Bus But No Students Harmed over-crowdin- HIGHLAND — An Alpine School District driver is thankful her bus was empty Thursday A Sandy nurse whose license was suspended for six months in January has instead been placed on three years probation after licensing officials decided the suspension wasn't necessary The Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing imposed the suspension on Janet Black's license after she was found to have consumed one dose of a prescription drug not prescribed for her Her license was on probation at that time for previous unauthorized prescription drug use The division and the State Board of Nursing stayed the suspension after considering additional evidence that indicated Ms Black would not be a threat to the g year-roun- d morning when someone shot out the rear window Marilyn Larson Lehi was beginning her route picking up elementary students when the incident happened "My bus has a tendency

one in the Highland-Alpin- e area and one in the north 1 3 !ik! the dogs have gotten a lot more sophisticated" Greiner listed several Epecialized services that Ogden Pohce's dogs perform Tracking lost children and runaways: If the dog is on the scene within an hour the scent is generally strong enough for the dog to track Human scent is produced by millions of dried skin cells constantly flaking off which to a dog's nose are as easy to follow as a trail of red paint would be to a human eye Specialty sniffing: Explosives and narcotics each have smells that dogs can locate Small article search: Anything that has been touched by a human from a sock to a spent shell can be sniffed out by the dog whether it is in a room a mound of snow or buried in soil Building searches: An armed burglar in a dark building has the edge over an investigating officer unless the officer has a dog then the edge shifts Dogs do not run about aimlessly when released they head for the smell of a human like a pigeon heads for home If a suspect has a gun its better the dog find that out than the police officer Crowd control: If a police officer faces an abusive crowd and someone were to take a swing at the officer the dog is trained to firmly bite the assailant's crotch Equal rights for females has not reached the police canine corps All of the Ogden dogs are male "because a female dog in heat is no use as a police dog If we medically fix the female she usually loses her aggressiveness So we just use males" Greiner said OGDEN — Remember the photos of snarling guard dogs held by East German police
