The Greater Chennai City Police (GCP) has inducted three new puppies into its Sniffer Dog Squad. These Belgian Malinois puppies have been named ‘Carlos’, ‘Charles’, and ‘Lando’ and will undergo specialized training to assist in crime detection, bomb detection, and drug detection. The squad currently consists of a total of 21 sniffer dogs, with 14 specializing in bomb detection, six in crime detection, and one in drug detection. The addition of these new puppies will strengthen the squad’s capabilities in ensuring public safety.

Forensic scientists have devised an innovative technique to extract drug residue from fingerprints using a chemical, enabling the detection of illicit substances on fingerprint samples. Previously, the reliance on gel lifters introduced chemical contamination, hindering the identification of trace amounts of drugs and explosives.
