A Historical Human Remains Detection dogs are taught to discriminate between
human and nonhuman
items, alerting on the faint residual scent of human tissue or bone, as well
as dried blood. HRD dogs do not disturb the crime scene by digging or retrieving
evidence and can search homes
or vehicles without causing damage to property. The dogs usually work slowly
and methodically. Their most common alerts are passive, sitting or lying down
when an item is found.
Some of our multimedia compilations were used as a resource for the educational TV channel Animal Planet.

A
word about DVD media A
production technology in commercial DVD industry is different than the
technology the personal computers use to write (burn) DVD discs. That
is the reason why commercial movie discs play well on all DVD players,
no matter how good or how old these DVD players are. On the contrary,
computer generated DVDs may have problems when played on the older players. |
A
word about MPEG-4 The
video files for mobile devices may be processed in many different settings.
We format our MPEG-4 files to comply with Apple iPod Video default setting
to achieve a good quality playback from Video iPod to your TV set via
video cable. We ship the MPEG-4 files on the regular data CD for you to
copy them directly into your iTunes library. |
A
word about the picture quality of our Video Preview We
are using Video sharing program to present our previews or full-length
videos. The uploaded video files are converted to Flash player streaming
video format and therefore loose the quality and resolution. Since the
previews are only to inform you about the content of the video, we decided
to show you the most of the video content possible at lesser quality,
rather then shorter trailer with somewhat better resolution. We assure
you the resolution and quality of the original video on DVD is outstanding. |

HUMAN REMAINS DETECTION DOGS Using dogs to help locate historical and archaeological graves is a new concept. The dogs are trained to be slow, methodical and keep the nose just above the surface of the ground; any fast moves and the dog can miss a grave. It takes many years of slow and patient training to develop the skills needed to do this work... |

 Santa
Barbara Presidio - 2008On Sunday, September 7, 2008, the Santa Barbara Presidio will be visited by several four-footed graduates of the Institute for Canine Forensics. For some time, the Institute has been sending out teams of these specially trained dogs to help officials search for long-missing persons at such places as the World Trade Center in New York, the site of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, the Loma Prieta and Mexico City Earthquakes, the Oakland Firestorm, and the Oklahoma City bombing site. But, the use of these remarkable human remains detection (HRD) dogs has become very specialized and is one of the most promising recent tools available to archaeologists.
