Explosive Detection Dogs – DiagNose’s Expertize

What is an explosive detection dog or “EDD”?

specially trained dogs can be used to detect explosives using their noses, which are highly sensitive to odors. This method has been used since the early 70’s and has been given the famous name of “K9” (short for “canine”).

These dogs are taught by expert trainers to identify the scents of several common explosive materials and notify their handler upon detection of one of them. The dogs indicate a ‘hit’ by performing an act they were trained to do, generally consisting of a passive response such as sitting or lying down.

Explosive detection dogs can memorize up to 12-15 different scents. They are trained on the scents which are required by regulators and which change from time to time. Once a canine has been trained, adding a new target scent is a matter of approximately 10 days.

Detection dogs, also called “sniffer dogs,” can detect any substance that produces a scent. These include: narcotics, tobacco, banknotes, weapons and even cell phones.

Explosive detection dogs (EDDs) are frequently used for cargo security screening at airports and in cargo warehouses and for other anti-terror tasks such as:

Baggage screening
Vehicle search (on or off leash)
Clearing of public places
Aircraft search
etc.

EDDs work in teams consisting of the dog and its handler. Sometimes an EDD team will be based on two dogs per handler, depending on required tasks.
