Please explain why "peace officers" shouldn't have dogs for tracking, detection, guarding evidence, or hot pursuit of a person observed in the act of committing a violent crime.

That's why in the old days, they used to call them "flatfoots".

Other than that, peace officers are a thing of the past. We only have law enforcement officers now.

Peace officers kept the peace. Law enforcement officers enforce the law.

One of the ways “peace officers” kept the peace was by arresting law breakers.
