Which directive addresses the Posse Comitatus Act for detector dog operations?

• A. DODD 3025.12
• B. DODD 5100.01
• C. DODD 5525.10
• D. DODD 5500.01

Answer: (C)

The main idea is how the Posse Comitatus Act limits military involvement in domestic law enforcement and which directive governs how detector dogs can operate in cooperation with civilian authorities. The correct directive explicitly covers DoD cooperation with civilian law enforcement and lays out the approvals, restrictions, and procedures to ensure compliance with the Act in detector dog operations. It defines when military support is permissible, how to coordinate with law enforcement, and what activities are allowed for detector dogs so you don’t cross into prohibited domestic enforcement roles. Other directives focus on broader DoD policy or areas outside civilian law enforcement and don’t provide the specific framework for detector dog support under the Posse Comitatus Act, which is why they aren’t the right choice here.
