Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. When a K-9 performs his job correctly he is given a food treat.

Answer: False

K-9's are selected because of their "toy drive". They are never given food treats because you don't want the dog to be distracted by food while it's working. Instead they are given a toy when they complete their job successfully.

Answer: True

If officers are doing a search for a suspect in a felony crime, they will use a dog trained in criminal apprehension and the dog will bite the suspect when he/she is found.

3. K-9's should listen and obey the commands given by any member of the police department they work for.

Answer: False

The only person that the dog should obey is the handler.

4. If the K-9 is locked in the back of the squad car, there's no way for it to assist its handler who is in a struggle with a suspect away from the car.

Answer: False

K-9 cars are equipped with remote door openers that resemble a garage door opener. The handler wears this wireless remote on his/her duty belt. The officer pushes the button, which will open the door of the squad car and release the dog.

5. A suspect throws a knife into a field while he/she is fleeing. A K-9 could be used to locate the knife in the field.

Answer: True

K-9's are also trained in article search and are able to locate items which are discarded by suspects.

Answer: Tunnel

The five obstacles are Catwalk, Crawl, Broad Jump, Hurdles, and A-Frame.

7. The dog will always bark to indicate a find while conducting a search for narcotics.

Answer: False

Some dogs are trained to bark and scratch at the item when they locate narcotics. This is called an aggressive alert. Other dogs are trained to sit down when they find something. These dogs will not bark or scratch and this is called a passive alert.

8. Another award given at the USPCA National Trial is the 'Captain Tom Larsen Memorial Award'. Captain Tom Larsen is known as the father of K-9 in what state?

Answer: Louisiana

Captain Tom Larsen was the first K-9 handler in the state of Louisiana. He worked for the Baton Rouge Police Dept.

9. K-9's are trained to bite using dummies or dolls.

Answer: False

The dogs are trained to bite using actual people wearing protective gear. The most common is a bite sleeve which a person puts over their arm and then allows the dog to bite it.

10. It is okay to just walk up and start petting a police K-9 without first asking the handler.

Answer: False

You never want to approach a dog without first asking permission.
