RU2479993C2 - Speedball smell imitator for training sniffer dogs - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to training sniffer dogs. The speedball smell imitator contains an inert carrier whose surface is coated with an odour substance. The odour substance used is a mixture containing the following (wt %): edible soda - 0.01-10, edible starch 0.01-10, apple and/or wine vinegar 0.01-25, methyl ether of benzoic acid - the balance.

Description

The invention relates to the field of official dog breeding, and in particular to the field of training of service dogs, and can be used to train and smell dogs of dog training services used to search for potent and narcotic substances prohibited for circulation, namely, crack.

Recently, in connection with a significant increase in drug use and drug trafficking, the role of specially trained service dogs used for search activities has significantly increased.

The use of trained dogs for the detection of narcotic substances is actively used all over the world by various services, as it allows the inspection of passengers, hand luggage, luggage, vehicles and cargo. The biggest advantage of the cynological service is its mobility and ability to work in unequipped rooms and field conditions, as well as the high sensitivity of dogs to the detection of narcotic substances.

In order to teach a dog to detect narcotic substances, it is necessary to train them with the use of real narcotic substances, which is associated with a high risk for animals that can become drug addicts or get poisoned if they accidentally absorb the drug. In addition, it requires the use of special protected storage facilities and landfills, accounting and control over the use of narcotic substances as training details.

AIDSBALL is a mixture of crack and heroin with high drug potential, is a very dangerous new opportunity to choose a drug among drug addicts. This drug threatens a new generation of heroin addiction.

It is known (US patent 4742799) a device for training dogs, containing two hollow elements in the cavity of which is placed any object or substance intended for the search.

A disadvantage of the known device should be recognized as the need to use a significant amount of the narcotic substance to search for which the dog is dragged, since the walls of the elements forming the cavity do not contain holes and the smell of the substance passes poorly through the walls.

The closest analogue to the developed solution can be recognized (RU, patent 2160529) as a drug simulator for training search dogs for drug detection, which includes an inert base and an effective amount of odorological substance, and it contains microcrystalline cellulose and / or silica gel as an inert base, and as an odorological substance, an aromatic additive that mimics the structural fragments of drug molecules.

A disadvantage of the known technical solution should be recognized as the absence of the composition of the odorological substance that largely imitates the smell of a speedball.

The technical problem solved by the developed invention is to create reliable equipment for training service dogs.

The technical result obtained by the implementation of the developed technical solution is to enable the dog to remember the smell of the speedball in a stable manner, which will enable the work dog to search for potent and narcotic substances that are prohibited for circulation, namely, the speedball.

To achieve the specified technical result, it is proposed to use a speedball odor simulator, which is an inert carrier, on which a odorological substance is applied, which is a mixture containing (wt.%):

baking soda 0.01 to 10 food starch from 0.01 to 10 apple and / or grape vinegar from 0.01 to 25 benzoic acid methyl ester rest.

Preferably, the odorological substance content is not more than 10% by weight of the inert carrier.

As an inert carrier, microcrystalline cellulose, silica gel, activated carbon, alumina, and other carriers having a finely porous structure can be used.

The simulator may contain both natural and synthetic (obtained by chemical transformations) apple and / or grape vinegar.

In the manufacture of the simulator, baking soda is mixed in an amount of from 0.01 to 10 wt.%, Food starch in an amount of from 0.01 to 10 wt.%, Apple and / or grape vinegar in an amount of from 0.01 to 25 wt.% And benzoic acid methyl ester (TU 6-06-28-26) the rest. The resulting mixture is mixed in any known manner with an inert carrier in an amount not exceeding 10 wt.% By weight of the inert carrier. The resulting speedball simulator is stored in an airtight container.

The following are examples of implementations of a speedball odor simulator developed.

1. 0.01 g of baking soda, 0.01 g of edible starch, 0.01 natural apple cider vinegar and 99.97 g of benzoic acid methyl ester were mixed. Mixing was carried out in a rotary mixer for 2 hours. 1 gram of the resulting mixture was mixed with 10 g of microcrystalline cellulose. Mixing was carried out in a rotary mixer for 2 hours. The resulting mixture was placed in a plastic bag and sealed. A 10 g speedball was placed in a similar bag and also sealed. A trained service dog found both packages in a food warehouse.

2. 10 g of baking soda, 0.01 g of edible starch, 0.01 g of natural grape vinegar and 89.98 g of benzoic acid methyl ester were mixed. Otherwise, the experimental conditions were repeated as Example 1. A trained service dog in a warehouse with textiles found both packages.

3. Mixed 0.01 g of baking soda, 10.0 g of edible starch, 0.01 g of synthetic apple cider vinegar and 89.98 g of benzoic acid methyl ester. Otherwise, the experimental conditions were repeated as Example 1. A trained service dog in a warehouse with pharmaceutical goods found both packages.

4. 10.0 g of baking soda, 10.0 g of edible starch, 0.01 g of synthetic grape vinegar and 79.99 g of benzoic acid methyl ester were mixed. Otherwise, the experimental conditions were repeated as Example 1. A trained service dog in a warehouse with textiles found both packages.

5. Mixed 5 g of baking soda, 5 g of edible starch, 5 g of natural grape vinegar, 5 g of synthetic apple cider vinegar and 80 g of benzoic acid methyl ester. Otherwise, the experimental conditions were repeated as Example 1. A trained service dog found both packages under the conditions of a truck body (truck) with fruit.

6. Mixed 0.01 g of food starch, 5 g of natural apple cider vinegar and 94.99 g of benzoic acid methyl ester. The rest of the experiment was repeated as Example 1. A trained service dog in a warehouse with textiles did not find a bag with a simulator, but found a bag with a speedball.

7. Mixed 0.01 g of baking soda, 5 g of synthetic grape vinegar and 94.99 g of benzoic acid methyl ester. Otherwise, the experimental conditions were repeated as Example 1. A trained service dog in a warehouse with pharmaceutical goods did not find a packet with a simulator, but found a packet with a speedball.

8. Mixed 10.5 g of baking soda, 0.01 g of food starch and 89.49 g of benzoic acid methyl ester. The rest of the experimental conditions were repeated as example 1. A trained service dog in the conditions of a warehouse with food products did not find a bag with a simulator, but found a bag with a speedball.

9. 5 g of baking soda, 11 g of edible starch, 2.5 g of natural apple cider vinegar and 2.5 g of synthetic apple cider vinegar and 79 g of benzoic acid methyl ester were mixed. Otherwise, the experimental conditions were repeated as Example 1. A trained service dog in a warehouse with household appliances did not find a package with a simulator, but found a package with a speedball.

The developed simulator does not contain potent and narcotic substances prohibited for circulation, is safe to handle and does not require special storage conditions, and is disposed of with household waste.

The speedball odor simulator was used by the FSKN dog training service both for training and for setting dogs to smell raw opium. Comparative tests conducted in FSKN using natural substances and a speedball simulator showed that trained dogs equally well search for both products.

The developed speedball simulator can be used to train service dogs by the cynological services of the Federal Customs Service, the Federal Penitentiary Service, Federal Drug Control Service, the Federal Security Service Directorate, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Internal Affairs Directorate in ZhT, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and the MRS of the Armed Forces.
