Abstract
The contribution is focused on our experience with detection of hidden explosives, marked explosives and marking taggant by means of sniffing dogs. The capabilities of sniffing dogs were tested under different conditions to find hidden samples of explosives, releasing traces of vapours or particles. 11 samples of basic types of explosives, including DMNB taggant, were sought out by sniffing dogs within the framework of five examination scenarios.
The results obtained enable to make certain conclusions concerning the work of dogs in the field of detection of explosives.
