forensic scent detection

Forensic scent detection uses specially trained dogs or nose-based technology to identify specific scents associated with crime scenes or evidence. These trained detection animals can pinpoint substances like human scent, drugs, or explosives by following chemical signatures left behind. The process is highly sensitive and reliable, helping law enforcement locate evidence that might be invisible to the eye. Scent detection enhances investigations by providing a non-invasive, accurate method to find critical evidence, often in complex or challenging environments where visual or physical search methods might fall short.
