    There are several key characteristics needed for a canine to become a police canine. These include intelligence, aggression, strength, and a keen sense of smell. German shepherds often make good police dogs as the breed is intelligent, dominant, strong, and have a superior sense of smell compared to other breeds. Police canines must also pass rigorous testing to demonstrate their ability to detect drugs or explosives and perform tasks in various situations reliably under the control of their handler. Genetic selection is important, as police departments need dogs bred for traits like sociability and reliability, as fear responses are difficult to change and could compromise a police dog's effectiveness.
