My parents' neighbor is a canine officer. He has two police dogs. One is full time and older. The other is a younger dog who is still learning. They are treated like family pets when they aren't working. He actually has three dogs as when his last canine partner was injured (torn ACL) he adopted her as a pet.

A man I work with has a police trained dog. She didn't quite make the cut for full time police work, so she was adopted out by the training academy. She's 2 years old now. Was adopted out at about a year. She amazing! Knows all sorts of commands, well trained, well socialized, beautiful! Her flaw for police work is that she could not be trained to bite on command. She just won't bite! So not a good police dog, but a perfect family pet!
