Well, the problem is aussies have a trait that is so natural to them. Herding. They love the see and chase. They are obsessed with it. They are best suited for herding or for frisbie trows in compitition, and agility. Although incredibly smart, they do not have the natural desire to sniff and search. Their agression is not enough to learn and keep knowledge of attack training either. They like to herd, play frisbie (and I mean serious high jumps and spactacular moves frisbie) or amazing agility. SO, no they don't make good police dogs.

never heard of them specifically - but you can train any dog ( unless something is wrong with it ) to sniff out anything that is not in their natural environment
