As ferryman isn't here, can anyone tell me how you get a VRD dog to screen an area before searching it? I can understand that if you're going to bring items into the area, but how can you screen an area itself?

I thought you were a moderator and I thought posting links to off topic subject matter was not permitted?  Hmm... &%+((£

In these terms, the pieces of clothing recovered [from the home] were laid out individually in accordance with instructions given by the British technicians, the dogs [then] walking the area where they [those pieces of clothing] were laid out by order and with the following results described below.

1. Between 23h20 and 23h30 the two dogs were allowed to reconoitre the entire area to guarantee that there were no existing odours - and none were detected by them.

That's how.

I am quite happy for a bit of light heartedness on here. Helps if we don't take ourselves too seriously all the time.

I'll bear that in mind and be sure to act on it regularly.

So how could that be done with a building? It already exists, you can't screen another area and then move it there.

You carry out a prior reconnoitre of an area to eliminate existing scents, then introduce into that area anything (specific) you want the dog to test.

It was the area itself they were examining. How can you introduce the area into the area?
