My university's police department shared this on their Facebook page and I thought it was nice to know that someone is working to get more dogs bullet proof vests. I feel police dogs are often forgotten about, but they are police officers just as much as the human officers. Also, the officer from 0:30 to 0:45 works for my university's police (University at Albany).

Totally agree! Dogs are just as helpful and effective as human officers. Alberty Einstein once said "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid"

 

Even though that quote isn't 100% on point, it definitely supports in this case. Sure dogs can't speak english and do paper work, but trust me they make it up by doing things humans can't naturally like sniffing stuff out, running much faster, etc (there's just a lot of stuff dogs can do that humans naturally can't).

 

I've got a buddy in the military and what really cool is that they give the dogs ranks, even though they aren't 'leading' squads of humans or dogs. Its just really neat to see the respect and value for dogs!

 

My buddy in the military always calls his 'partner' (the awesome dog :p) by his rank then his name when appropriate, the dogs also can identify the different branches by their uniforms and stand attention and knows when he can relax, its just really cool!
