Verdict
While some aspects of a K9 Officer's role, such as surveillance, can be supported by AI, the unique bond and training required for working with dogs, along with interpersonal skills, make full substitution unlikely in the near future. The profession is at moderate risk for AI substitution over the next 5-10 years.
