THE DOGS, YET AGAIN

What is all this about one of Murat's cars not being given a sniff-over by the Wonderdogs?

A reminder of past dog issues:

Who can forget the uproar this caused?

Interesting to see the authors of this report are from the NPIA. This is the organisation who supported a retired dog handler whilst he searched in Portugal and Jersey, against the wishes of the ACPO police dog working group who could see the Police being bought into disrepute. Some of his outrageous comments around finding “the smell of death” are believed by police officers around the country. Victim recovery handlers are often asked, “has your dog found the smell of death”

Victim recovery dogs and handlers are licensed to set ctiteria, something the NPIA sponsored dog never was. This criteria is about to be updated in the new Training and Care manual. The ACPO police dog working group and the NPIA were in a constant battle with regards the retired handler. Not often budget cuts can be applauded, on this occasion they can, the NPIA is about to be scrapped!!

Judge Belvin Perry Junior [love that name] had all his marbles when it came to the dogs. He demanded to see a Training Schedule and a Success Record before he allowed Dog's Evidence into his Courtroom.
As it happens, Jose Baez scotched that one by getting the Dog Handler to admit that Cadaver Dogs do Alert to Decomposing Body Fluids from a Live Person. But only in the absence of an Actual Body, which is often the case. But then who would need a Cadaver Dog if there was a body present?

I am becoming more and more disillusioned with Cadaver Dogs as the years go by.
A Great help in a search and rescue situation, but not much use in the absence of a body.

For some reason that escapes me, the Wonderdog Fan Club keep posting links to this:

I don't know why, frankly, it does nothing for them.


VT / 9 Trench and gun emplacement containing small personnel shelter. Forensic examination revealed recently deposited tissues that appeared to have been used to ‘clean up following sexual intercourse’. It would appear that the shelter had been used as a venue for courting couples. This alert is within the trained parameters of the dog’s repertoire and is a satisfactory explanation of the alert.

'Sexual intercourse dog' doesn't have quite the same ring to it, somehow......

Merely a different branch of Detection. Could come in handy in Divorce Cases.
