In some noted cases the police have benefited from the use of these dogs. A famous murder case was cracked a few years ago when a specially trained dog was able to sniff out the body of the victim and then with this scent retrace the killer's tracks to the scene of the murder.
如前所述，我國警方並無警犬編制，辦案需要時，便由中華民國警犬協會和台灣省育犬協會所屬「訓練士」設立的訓練中心提供。
