Cadaver dogs detect the decomposition of tissue. They are not Search and Rescue dogs that are trained to find live bodies. They work quickly and are very accurate. They can locate buried or drowned bodies at varying depths. The training they receive is intensive and specific.
The cadaver dog has been heavily scrutinised for its accuracy. Many tests have been performed and the dogs have been widely used around the world as a valuable search tool. We train our Cadaver Detection Dogs using SOKKS-MPTS. It is a fantastic product and has many successes. For example a water search was conducted by a Cadaver Detection Dog as part of a search for a missing swimmer in Lake Geneva Switzerland. The swimmer had been missing for one year. The Cadaver Detection Dog trained on SOKKS-MPTS indicated the location of a relevant odour. Based on that indication divers searched the area and recovered the body of the missing swimmer at 45 metres.
