Dogs who work as police dogs are highly trained. The officer typically gets his dog as a puppy and is tremendously involved in dog-handler training. Working dogs are considered "officers".
Training sets certain words and gestures that the dog will follow later in the field. A dog may be trained to track a suspect, subdue a suspect, and hold the suspect until human officers arrive. Since dogs can run faster than humans, in effect a police dog extends the "reach" of a human officer.
Dogs are also trained for specific scents, such as drug searches and may be assigned to Drug Task Forces or Border Check-points. Dogs can pick up scents from a suspect, his clothing, the car, or belongings.
Airport security uses dogs for luggage checks. Dogs can find certain chemicals, drugs, or even contraband foods brought in illegally from other countries (which could infect the country's fruit or vegetable crops).
