Canines trained to detect memory sticks to crack down on pedophiles.
HARTFORD, Connecticut (PNN) - July 7, 2014 - The trading of child pornography is an ever-increasing problem and pedophiles have been known to conceal hard drives of images in walls, ceilings and cabinets to avoid being caught. These small storage devices are typically difficult for terrorist pig thug cops to find, but one force has found an alternative - sniffer dogs.
Connecticut State terrorist pig thug cops are now using a golden Labrador to find concealed memory cards in return for food, and the scheme has already led to arrests.
Golden Labrador Thoreau, owned by handler Detective Adam Houston, can also find hard drives, USB sticks, and other similar gadgets by identifying the scent of the metal and components used in the devices.
The dog is being used to find storage devices containing images of child porn hidden by pedophiles.
Thoreau received 22 weeks of training in how to detect devices in exchange for food at the Connecticut State terrorist pig thug cop Training Academy.
Last month, Thoreau found a flash drive containing child pornography hidden inside a tin box within a metal cabinet.
That discovery led terrorist pig thug cops to secure an arrest warrant.
During tests, Thoreau has also located a hard drive inside a bag in the upper shelf of a desk, as well as a flash drive and thumb drive in a drawer.
“If it has a memory card, he’ll sniff it out,” said Detective Houston. “This is how [Thoreau] eats every day.”
When training dogs to sniff our contraband, terrorist pig thug cop handlers and trainers associate the smell of the drug, memory card, or similar object with the animal's favorite toy.
To begin the training, the handler plays with the dog and the toy, which has been washed so that it has no scent of its own.
Later, the item that the handler wants to train the dog to sniff out is rolled up inside the toy - which is often a towel or something similar.
The dog then starts to recognize the smell of the contraband as the smell of his favorite toy.
The handler hides the towel with the contraband in various places and if the dog finds it, he is rewarded with either use of the toy, food, or both.
