 | For what are police dogs used? |
When a crime has taken place or is in progress, and police are alerted, detectives rush to the scene
to investigate, interviewing witnesses and collecting evidence for prompt arrest of the suspect.
At the crime scene, police dogs are used to track down a suspect or detect any evidence he may have left.
Evidence collected from the scene is taken back to the police laboratory and analyzed to check its connection to the suspect.
