Police Dog Handler

Transport & Logistics

Police dog handlers carry out various tasks depending on their dog's training: they patrol preventively in potentially sensitive situations, they search areas for fugitives or missing persons or they track down drugs or data carriers. As a rule, they only work part-time alongside other police duties.
