as far as the fence goes, it's a pretty high fence. I don't know how he does it, but he does it...
If this dog is trained for Patrol work, scaling high fences shouldn't and obviously isn't hard. These animals are trained to scale fences, high walls, etc etc without any aid from the handler unless it is a slick wood wall or brick wall that the dog can't get a grip on.
I'd talk to the officer again, and if that doesn't work, talk to the department, because these animals cost thousands of dollars to import and train, and if the officer doesn't keep this dog in a kennel run, he should be kept in the house and outside only when supervised.
I also wonder how well trained that dog is at all if he's jumping fences when his master isn't around
