can tell us what exactly do you mean by "find"?
they give false alerts to signal that drugs are present. They are trained to find smells, but also trained to follow commands. The officer can do a signal and get the dog to sit at a person if they want to search them.

Bloomington, IL — Police are now speaking out about a decision from the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that drug dogs signal for drugs nearly every time they are sent to sniff a vehicle or home. This decision shows that police dog searches are not legitimate and that they are just used as a pretense for officers to violate the rights of innocent people.
The case stemmed from a 2010 traffic stop in which 20 kilograms of cocaine were found in a vehicle after a search from a police dog named “Lex.”
The suspect ended up taking the case to court, and while his sentence was upheld, some very interesting points were uncovered during the investigation.
It was revealed that Lex, the drug dog in question, signaled for drugs 93% of the time, even when there were no drugs present. These findings show that dog sniffs are not accurate and are simply used as a tool to justify a full police search. The findings also indicated that Lex was incorrect roughly 40% of the time.
Lex’s overall accuracy rate … is not much better than a coin flip,” the ruling stated
