MILWAUKEE: Police dogs have always helped their human counterparts through their eyes and nose, and now some of the dogs are getting their own backup – cameras that transmit live video.
The devices generally attach to dogs’ backs on a vest and transmit video to a handler watching from a screen, possibly on their wrist or around their necks. It’s so the officers can better assess what they are up against before they go into a situation.
