FBI's Newest K-9 Sniffs Out Digital Evidence: Any Electronic Device that Stores Memory
One of the newest members of the FBI has a decidedly low-tech method of sniffing out digital evidence: she uses her nose.

Iris, an 18-month-old Labrador retriever, is the FBI's first electronic-detection K9 and can sniff out just about any electronic device that stores memory -- regardless of how well a criminal has hidden it.

Iris graduated from a program pioneered by he Connecticut State Police last month and is one of just a handful of dogs trained to detect a chemical used to cool memory chips on electronics.

"She went into four weeks of imprinting class with them, where they basically just had her every day and imprinted her on the scent," said her handler, FBI Agent Jeffrey Calandra. "That chemical is unique to thumb drives, hard drives, really anything that’s electronic that can store memory."

Now, just about anytime she's brought to a scene to sniff out the chemical, she alerts her handler in a way similar to bomb and drug dogs.

"She’s a passive alert dog so when she finds the device she’ll sit and then she’s fed," said FBI Agent Jeffrey Calanda, her handler.
