The boxer, as well as some other dog breeds, started being used for the purpose of law enforcement around the year 1859 in Germany, and some other countries as well. The boxers were used to patrol at night with a law officer. At this time, the boxer also became popular for use in the army and as a customs dog.
Some of the most popular dog breeds used by law enforcement in the nineteenth century were German Shepherds, Boxers, Doberman Pinschers, and the Airedale dog breeds.
In today’s world, the boxer is used in the same areas and in several other areas of law enforcement. The boxer is still used in the military, police and the customs department. However, the boxer is also used in the areas of tracking, as well as a cadaver dog; the boxer can be trained to sniff out the scent of a decomposing body.
The boxer is used in the law enforcement area because of its size, and the fact that the boxer is highly intelligent and is easy to train. The boxer can be trained to do many tasks of law enforcement work. The boxer can easily run down a suspect or a person fleeing from a police officer. Once the boxer catches the suspect, the boxer will hold or detain the person until the officer arrives. The boxer has long been used in the area of police work to protect civilians, as well as to assist and protect the police officer.
Since the beginning of the twentieth century, the police and law enforcement officials recognized the major importance of the boxer as well as some other dog breeds as vital to law enforcement. Therefore, now the dog breeds are called K9’s and the dogs are made sworn police officers. These K9 breeds are the German Shepherds Rottweilers, Boxers, and Doberman Pinschers, American Pitt Bulls, as well as the Bloodhounds for tracking of humans or missing humans.
It is a considered a felony for a human to injure, hit, or kill a K9 police officer. Moreover, there will be a much harsher punishment for anyone who does injure, hit or kill a police dog or K9 officer while the K9 is serving on duty.
All of the law enforcement agencies that have K9 officers now provide the k9’s with a formal police K9 badge, and a police ID tag. The K9 officers are provided with a specially-made bulletproof vest to protect the K9 from being shot while on duty. If however, the K9 is killed while serving the public or another officer, the K9 is given a formal burial as a human officer receives if killed in the line of duty.
It should also be, noted that the boxer is used in similar types of law enforcement and security, such as the example of a security guard dog. This is because the boxer is a natural protector of homes, buildings as well as humans.
