Man's Best Friend Fights Cri me

CAPT. FRANK V. BREAZEALE Commanding Officer, Canine Corps, Metropolitan Police Department, Washington, D.C. The Metropolitan Police Depart• ment of Washington, D.C., established its canine corps in January 1960 un• der the supervision of the Washington Police Academy. The department was most fortunate in obtaining the services of a qualified police dog trainer in the person of a retired police sergeant from London, England, who had been attached to that department's canine corps for 10 years and who was then living in this country. Because England has been recog• nized as one of the top police dog• training countries in the world, we decided to follow generally the Eng• lish standards of training and thus try to avoid many of the problems con• with organizing a canine corps. date we have realized a distinct ad• vantage in our decision. One officer from the first class of seven men was sent to England for a 4-month training period, and he re• turned to this department to assist with a stepped-up training program. The official who was then in charge of the corps was also sent to England for a 2-week period to study the adminis• trative aspects of forming a canine corps. Since that time we have gradu• ated a total of 157 police officers with their dogs from our training establish• ment. This figure includes officers sent to us for training from various surrounding police departments.

Now we do face here a very serious prob· lem in the enforcement of law, and we shall need the widest possible support to meet and master it. You know the facts better than I. Since 1958, crime in this rich, powerful, wonderful country, where there are more opportunities available for more people than any place on the face of the earth, crime, nevertheless, has risen six times as fast as our national population. Last year alone, more than 2,700,000 serious crimes were reported to police de• partments throughout the United States. This is an all·time record. It means not only that more crimes are being committed, but that the victims of crime are mounting at a greater rate than ever before.
