"Police dog bite victims were usually bitten multiple times, whilst domestic bite victims were not. Police dog bite victims were bitten more often in the head, neck, chest and flank. They were hospitalised more often, underwent more operations and had more invasive diagnostic tests."

"We observed higher hospital admission rates (42% versus 7%) and higher multiple bite rates (73% versus 16%) in police dogs. Police dog bite victims’ operative rates were nearly twice as high as domestic dogs (4.0% versus 2.3%). There were 24 operations performed for the 595 police dog bite victims, including 5 arterial repairs, 4 open joint repairs, 1 tendon repair, 1 nasolacrimal duct repair, 2 split thickness skin grafts, and 11 incision and debridements. There were 27 operations performed for the 1109 domestic dog bite victims, including 3 arterial repairs, 4 split thickness skin grafts, 2 eyelid and nasolacrimal duct repairs, 1 neck exploration, 1 operating room failed resuscitation, and 16 incision and debridements."
