This article aims to examine the use of dogs by the military police, particularly in the state of Rondônia, in fighting and preventing crimes. We used a deductive method, by conducting a literature review, interpreting laws and regulations regarding police activities using these animals as tools. The study was developed following a logic sequence from general to individual knowledge, and resulted in a concise assessment of this instrument in the daily routine of crime prevention and repression by the military police. It was noted that the use of police dogs was a less lethal procedure for crime repression, whereas police work proved more agile, efficient and with greater psychological impact in relation to other tools used by the officers, mainly based on the International Convention on Human Rights. The officer must, therefore, respect and preserve human life, by minimizing damages and injuries.
