Like any other law enforcement agent, a police dog can do use the necessary force to stop a "bad guy".

The plaintiff was a police officer. While carrying out his duties he was bitten by a police dog, an Alsatian, which had been trained to be aggressive when working. The claim failed, largely on the ground that on the particular facts the damage was not caused by the relevant characteristic of the dog.

My friend son was chased by a Police dog which resulted in it biting his arm causing severe damage to the skin and his clothing. As a result he has consulted his solicitor who is talking the Police force to court. I've phoned a pal in the British Army who is a dog trainer for the Police along with the British Army. He said that he will more than likely get £10,000 to £15,000 going by previous cases.
Has anybody came a across some thing like this? I find this a bit crazy
this is the best site

Overview
Courts have held that officers can use dogs to bite and hold a person suspected of commiting a crime, but only when it is reasonable to do so. In one case, the court held that it was unreasonable because the officers did not give the suspect a chance to surrender prior to using the dog, because of the circumstances present in that case. In other cases, however, courts have reached the opposite conclusion. Cases on both sides of the issue are contained in the next section.
These claims usually are brought under the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Generally, that statute forbids police from using unreasonable force when making an arrest. If they do, then they may be required to compensate the victim. In some cases, the officers might be punished, including having to pay punitive damages to the victim. The federal civil rights laws give victims some advantages, possibly including an award of attorneys fees and costs, and sometimes a longer statute of limitations.

Why? Are you planning something big? They have different levels of commands, and it depends on what the person is being chased for. If the person is suspected of carring a gun and/or the police know who it is and if they have commited a serious crime dogs are permitted to be as aggressive as they need to be. If the person the dog is chasing obeys the police the command is to bring them down and hold them until the police gets to them. Many times they hold them down with their mouths (and teeth) on their throats. When the officer catches up they release. Usually they don't break the skin, but accidents do happen and they don't get in trouble if they do. "You shouldn't be running from a police dog, you won't out-run it!" If the person is uncooperative anything goes. If the person hits the dog who, by-the-way is an officer of the law, the dog is allowed to do whatever it takes to restrain the person. Many people don't know it, but one of the things a police dog is taught is that if the suspect strikes the dog, that in itself is a command to "Get Em!" Then, in addition to whatever they are in trouble for in the first place, they are hit with an assaulting an officer charge! If the suspect does something that causes the death of the dog, the suspect is charged with murdering a police officer in the line of duty and can get the death penality.The police dogs in the military are much more aggressive. My ex husband was a kennel master in the Air Force. I love to watch a smart dog do his work.

for my area, i think of a dogs that has bitten a human (different than for those very particular cases the place there became right into a respected reason) ought to the two a million) be positioned down or 2) stay with an proprietor who is familiar with that the dogs won't be able to be depended on around human beings after that, ever. needless to say that dogs additionally desires to be altered, if no longer already. Human aggression is genetic, and a human aggressive dogs ought to by no ability be bred. i do no longer care if that is bee 5 years through fact the chew. A dogs that exhibits authentic human aggression is not extra healthful for a society of human beings. very few human beings would desire to attend to or savour a dogs like that, and human aggression in basic terms won't be able to be tolerated interior the dogs inhabitants.

Lissen dude!!! If the police said were gonna turn the dog loose on me (knowing they will bite hell outta you and (yep!) draw blood) I'd confess to being the man on the grassy knoll, where Jimmy Hoffa is buried, I'd tell them I know where Judge Crater is.........anything to keep them from lettin' that dog loose! A police officer might have a little sympathy but a police dog just ain't familiar with the concept of mercy.

Yes they are, but there are catch. Because so many lawsuit, we now train k-9s for "Bark and hold". it means the dog will find the suspect, than he will barking at him with-out bite. If suspect stand still and follow the instruction from handler, there will be no bite. If he fights, runs, or makes quick move (Trying to get a weapon), dog will bite him without command.
The today's police dog is very safe. they are well control by police handler. Just do as what handler said, you won't have to worry about them.

A well-trained dog makes everyone happy, including his owner. Take a little time training him, and you'll never regret it; you'll always have an obedient dog by your side. Find more https://tr.im/jlFSp
By their nature, dogs are pack animals with a well-defined social order. Through basic training, you need to consistently make sure your puppy understands that you are the leader, not him. So in teaching him the basic rules, you take on the role of pack leader.
To fit into the family circle, your dog must be taught to recognize his name and such commands as come, heel, lie down and sit.

well yes and no...
Police dogs are usually only used in tracking down someone or tacking down drugs. They usually dont get into a situation that they have to bite and if they do then they are trained to hold their possision till given the comand to lounge the person as for drawing blood no I dont believe they are supposed to but do occasonally if the person tries anything really stupid.... Why do you ask were you bitten by a police dog and did it draw blood.
