What is it with the word chain!

Its a running line, full access to the garden just stopping him from actually attacking anything or running away. theres no point having a dog to guard if its locked up in a kennel. He'll be kept in a more than adequate environment. im home all day so he wont be starved of attention. just needs to look and sound scary to anyone he doesnt know on command.

i dont like GSDs because i was attacked by one when i was younger, but i give all dogs a chance, never one to hold back on a cuddle

i will say though, 90% of the people i know with guard dogs on their property are ex or failed police dogs.

Normally failed for a very good reason.
It would be highly unusual for any force to rehome a former trained dog to be used in a guarding role.
The Police Trainers have specific policies in place to prevent this role for retired dogs, as using a highly trained GSD to act on the command of an untrained person in order to be loud and scary - is an offence in law.
The said offence is also punishable under the offensive weapons act as well.

I note you mention that your friend is an ex handler - I assume that he is rehoming dogs after they have already been rehomed by the force?
As the situation you describe would fail you instantly on the home checks.

Police dogs DO NOT make ideal home protection tools for people who want guard dogs, they are a former police officer who has performed a service. They deserve respect and a loving home - not an outdoor home!
