Retirement
Police dogs are retired if they become injured to an extent where they will not recover completely, pregnant, are raising puppies, or are too old or sick to continue working.
If these dogs are killed in the line of duty they get the same honors as their human partners. The handler makes all the decisions regarding their partner.
