Using K9s for scent discrimination has been part of the forensic repertoire used to solve crime for a number of decades in several European countries. The authors emphasize that the dog does not pinpoint a suspect as the perpetrator, but merely indicates that there is (or is not) a scent connection between evidence from the scene of a crime and a suspect in that crime. This is similar to fingerprints indicating that a suspect was present in a room where a crime was committed, without necessarily or definitively proving that the suspect committed the crime. Based on scientific knowledge of dog scent discrimination capabilities, careful training of the K9, precise use of the scent evidence and the comparison samples, and detailed record-keeping on the dog and scent discrimination exercises, law enforcement can present evidence that will stand up in court.
