Description

The invention relates to the field of creating imitators of narcotic substances, in particular to methods for preparing animals for the detection of narcotic and potent substances.

In the future, when confirming the performance of the odor simulator, the expression “the dog found it uncertainly ..” Within the framework of this application, this means that the certified dog passed by the stowage with the imitation, then returned, expressing concern, additionally sniffed the stowage site, and only then the presence of the stub is shown.

Recently, due to 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 drugs is actively used throughout the world by various services, as it allows the inspection of passengers, hand luggage, luggage, vehicles and cargo. The biggest advantage of the canine service is its mobility and ability to work in unequipped premises and field conditions, as well as the high sensitivity of dogs to the detection of drugs.

In order to teach a dog to detect drugs, they must be trained with real drugs, which is associated with a high risk for animals that can become addicted or poisoned if they accidentally ingest the drug. In addition, the use of special guarded storage facilities and landfills, accounting and control over the use of narcotic substances as training requisites are required.

A device for training dogs is known, containing two hollow elements, in the cavity of which any object or substance intended for search is placed (US patent 4742799, publ. 1989).

The disadvantage of the known technical solution should be recognized as its low efficiency in relation to the field of detection of narcotic and potent substances.

Methadone is a synthetic drug that is part of the opioid group and is used as a pain reliever in the process of recovering from drug addiction. It was developed in the 1930s as a new type of analgesic. Many people who try to get rid of drug addiction through methadone on their own make a fatal mistake, since there is a high degree of risk of substitution of the object of addiction.

Known (RU, patent 2467565, publ. 11/27/2012) is an opium odor simulator for training service dogs, containing an inert carrier, on the surface of which an odorological substance is applied, and a mixture containing wt. %:

food flavoring "prune" 5-20 food flavoring "poppy seeds" 5-20 oil poppy seeds rest

Preferably, the content of the odorant 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.

Also known (RU, patent 2479993, publ. 04/27/2013) is a speedball odor simulator for training service dogs, containing an inert carrier, on the surface of which an odorological substance is applied, and a mixture containing, by weight, is used as an odorological substance. %:

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

In a preferred embodiment of the known technical solution, the content of the odorological substance 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.

Also known (RU, patent 2588149, publ. 06/27/2016) is a black heroin odor simulator for training service dogs. It consists of an inert substrate with an odor carrier marker applied to it, while a mixture consisting of acetic anhydride in the composition of acetylsalicylic acid, natural and / or synthetic apple and grape vinegar, acetic acid, microcrystalline sulfur, copper-containing powder and/or chips, iron-containing powder and/or chips, powdered carbon and thiocyanate.

In a preferred embodiment, the odor carrier marker is a mixture consisting (wt %) of: acetic anhydride

in acetylsalicylic acid no more than 25 natural and/or synthetic apple and grape vinegar no more than 25 acetic acid no more than 25 microcrystalline sulfur no more than 25 copper powder and/or chips no more than 25 iron powder and/or shavings no more than 25 powdered carbon no more than 25 thiocyanate no more than 25

Preferably, the content of the odor-carrier marker is not more than 20% by weight of the inert support.

Microcrystalline cellulose, silica gel, activated carbon, alumina, or another carrier having a finely porous structure can be used as an inert support.

All of the above odor simulators refer to the odor simulators of narcotic substances - opiates. However, the composition of the odor simulator of the common narcotic substance of the opiate group, methadone, is not known.

The technical problem solved with the use of the developed odor simulator is to expand the range of odor simulators of narcotic substances of the opiate group.

The technical result achieved in the implementation of the developed odor simulator is to provide the possibility of detecting the smell of a narcotic substance of a group of opiates - methadone service dogs.

To achieve this technical result, it is proposed to use an odor simulator containing an inert carrier mixed with an odorological substance, and a mixture containing N-benzylethylamine, acetylsalicylic acid, apple cider vinegar and silica gel is used as an odorological substance.

Mechanical mixing of the components of the odorological mixture makes it possible to obtain a mixture with a more accurate ratio of the mixture components and their uniform distribution in the mixture.

In the basic version of the implementation of the simulator of the developed composition, during the manufacture of the simulator, N-benzylethylamine and other components of the odor supplement are mixed in any known way in prescription ratios. The resulting mixture in an amount not exceeding 28.8% of the mass. by weight of the simulator, mixed in any known way with an inert carrier. The resulting amphetamine odor simulator is stored in a sealed container.

Preferably, but not necessarily, the odoriferous supplement contains (% by weight of the simulant by weight):

N-benzylethylamine 0.2-0.3 acetylsalicylic acid 15.0-25.0 Apple vinegar 0.2-0.3 silica gel 0.25-0.35

The methadone odor simulant as an inert carrier may contain microcrystalline cellulose, silica gel, activated carbon, alumina or other carrier having a finely porous structure, as well as woven and non-woven textile materials.

The ratio of the inert carrier and the odor additive in the final product depends on the stage of preparation of the dog, as well as the conditions of the subsequent work of the dog. But at the same time, the composition of the components and their content in the odor supplement must correspond to the above list.

Below are examples of the implementation of the developed methadone odor simulator.
