HSS Amphitheatre | Did you know that American Police Dogs Speak German? Police dogs, like other service dogs, must have temperaments that feature intelligence and love of utility. Most of the police dogs have been at first a Schutzhund (guard dog); with additional lifelong training, the dogs are ready for active police duty. The police dog and his handler together make up a K-9 unit. Police dogs are one of the most effective and diverse tools used in policing, because of their sense of smell, speed, and acute hearing. A police dog will respond to noise from 140 yards away, compared to about 40 yards for a human. The most well-known police dog is the German Sheppard (Deutscher Schäferhund), bred and purchased in Germany, Czech Republic, and/or the Netherlands, where strict breeding standards dominate. Most of these dogs are trained in German, Dutch, or Czech languages because the training starts at the stage of a puppy. Since these dogs are used to their "native" language, Knoxville K-9 police officers must use the dogs' native language when commanding them or working with them. The Knox County sheriff's department has seventeen K-9 units. These K-9 teams play an important role in law enforcement across East Tennessee. They are highly trained to respond to several types of incidents. We will have some of these highly trained K-9 units on campus in the amphitheater behind the HSS building to demonstrate their skills.
