Police dogs that have been trained to sniff out minuscule electronic devices are changing the face of police detection. By locating hidden electronics, these specialist K9s are unearthing evidence that could lead to convictions for a wide range of serious crimes, including child pornography.
One of these aptly named “electronic storage detection canines,” named Ice, works with the New Jersey State Police. The 4-year-old German shepherd and his partner, Slawek Stepien, have been widely credited in the news for their exemplary “sniffing out” skills.
