Body odour bank

s_isale
By s_isale

DOHA: Qatar has become the
first country in the Middle East
to set up a human body odour
bank to trace criminals.
The innovative concept, that
has already been introduced in
a few countries including China,
allows the storage of human body
odour that can help police dogs in
identifying criminals.
The odour bank has been set up
by the Ministry of Interior at the
new building of the Police Canine
Section of its Criminal Evidences
and Information Department
(CEID) on the Salwa Road, which
was officially opened on Tuesday.

It must work.. the chinese have been using this technique for a few years..

Dogs are very well trained. If they fail, they become food :o(

This will not help much I am afraid...will be just a waste of time and effort by the government and residents...not worth the effort. With the crime rate being reasonably low in Qatar, most investigations may not need the BO help and finally, how can you depend on a dog to recognise the odour from millions of BO in the database??.. ROLF

so, does this mean all residents, new and old, have to appear for a BO examination and submit the BO code while applying the visa?

Can only hope the dogs are treated better in their new faclility than they were treated in their old one....

Dogs have the ability of perceiving a particular ph from someone and it's pretty hard to keep it masked. I think it's an excellent idea, I am just wondering what breeds they will be using for this task.

Oh.. No! poor Doggie :( Dogs will refrain from doing this..

well I saw one episode bloodhound from Mythbusters and this myth is "confirm". Dogs can really trace through Odour.

LP even more, we human's have 5M olfactory receptors while dogs have 25M. No need to elaborate on that..

So, TAKE A BATH and change your perfume frequently if you are a criminal. The dogs will be confused.

Yeah, brit. But these were 'partners'. Do dogs have similar properties?

By britexpat• 23 Jun 2011 08:13

I recall an experiment I witnessed many years ago..

Seven men were asked to wear the same shirt for two days.

Their partners were blind folded and asked to identify the shirt by the body odour. All seven got it right :o)
