Q106 (CISF/2024) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

The dog squad of CISF is trained to sniff and identify which of the following?
1. Metallic weapons
2. Narcotics
3. Pickle and smuggled food items
4. IEDs
Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Explanation

The Dog Squad (K9 unit) of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is a vital component of security at airports, the Delhi Metro, and other critical infrastructure. These dogs are primarily trained in two specialized categories:

  • IEDs (Explosives): Dogs are trained to detect a wide range of explosive substances used in Improvised Explosive Devices to prevent sabotage and terrorism.
  • Narcotics: They are trained to sniff out illegal drugs and contraband.

Metallic weapons (Statement 1) are primarily identified using electronic technology such as Metal Detectors (DFMD/HHMD) and X-ray scanners, as metal itself lacks a distinct scent for canine detection. Pickle and food items (Statement 3) are often used by smugglers as "masking agents" to confuse sniffer dogs; however, the dogs are specifically trained to ignore these distracting odors to locate the hidden narcotics or explosives. Therefore, statements 2 and 4 are correct.
