Police/K9 video game

I vaguely recall a game where you were a policeman with a dog sidekick. It only rings a bell because the sequel to the game was bloody and filled with profanity to a ridiculous degree. Does any one else remember?

Dead to Rights?

Yes! Was it any good? Worth digging up?

I only played the first one at a friend’s house for part of one level. Playstation 2 I think. It doesn’t stand out in my memory as particularly good or bad.

Ah, thank you. Was nibbling at my brain all day.

If I remember right, there were some neat mechanics involving the use of enemies as human shields and being able to toss fire extinguishers at people and shoot them in mid-air to explode. At the time it was pretty innovative.
