Services may include police units that are trained in handling large crowds and riot situations; SWAT teams that specialize in high-risk situations requiring special tactical skills; law enforcement dive teams that are used to recover evidence, drowning victims or lost vessels; patrol dogs that help to apprehend offenders, detect intruders, find lost children or handle other police work; and canine units that are trained to detect cadavers, explosives or narcotics.
