In some cases, police dogs may receive special commemoration and recognition after their sacrifice. Covering a police dog with a flag is a way to show respect and remembrance, but whether a police dog is covered with a flag may vary by region, organization or specific situation.

Some places or organizations may choose to commemorate and recognize the sacrifice of police dogs in other ways, such as holding a ceremony, setting up a monument, or Commemorative events, etc. These can be used to express respect and gratitude for police dogs, as well as recognition of their contribution to society and public safety.
