Here I am :D
Some of the smaller town police departments have Rotties, Salisbury being one of them. They work well where the severity and rate of crime is lower.
work-n-show is right about a Rott's weight, agility and temperment being big factors. They can be hard headed, as some of us already know ;)
At one point Charlotte did have Rotts but they couldn't keep up with tracking suspects for long distances. They also didn't do well in the heat.
Also Greg is correct about the border patrol. I know someone who is training with a Rottie now. They are also used more for security work, big crowds and venues.
Where is workindogz....she's the one who really knows about this stuff:D
