Battery Detector Dog
As technology continues to develop, it has seen the smuggling of mobile phones into prisons and other detention centres become a serious epidemic. Demand for these items is becoming so prevalent that there is an illicit market for mobile devices.
As the number of mobile phones in these facilities increases, it poses a serious risk both inside and outside the premises. Not only can a mobile phone in the wrong hands be leveraged to direct criminal activities outside of the prison, it can be used as leverage and an intimidation tactic within the prison itself, both against other prisoners and staff.
Small, flat and relatively easy to conceal, mobile phones can be difficult to locate using conventional methods of detection. However, like other contraband, the mobile phone has its own odour identity and dogs may be trained to locate these devices. The odour expelled by Lithium-ion batteries often resembles that of nail varnish remover or polish and it is easily detectable by the trained dog.
Where Battery Detector Dogs Make a Difference
Lithium-ion batteries contain a number of solvents. The two that have distinct odours are Dimethyl Carbonate (DMC) and Diethyl Carbonate (DEC), both are easy for the trained dog to identify and then signal to staff.
Battery detector dogs have a wide range of applications, including:
- Prisons and Detention Centers: Preventing inmates from using mobile phones to coordinate illegal activities.
- Courthouses and Government Buildings: Ensuring security and preventing unauthorised communication.
- Border Patrol and Customs: Detecting hidden mobile phones in luggage or vehicles.
- Private Security: Protecting valuable assets and preventing data theft.
