Two Belgian Milinois will be attached to the state police’s Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS). As per the data, the CID of Bihar Police currently has 68 sniffer dogs in the squad.

“Apart from their sniffing abilities, these dogs are extremely good runners and jumpers, which is helpful for nabbing criminals. They have been trained to detect bombs, land mines, narcotics and liquor” an official said.

ADG (CID) Vinay Kumar said that the state government had approved the state headquarters proposal to set up 50 dog units across the state. Each dog unit will have 4 dogs. A main handler and an assistant handler will be deputed at each unit to take care of the dogs.

Bihar Police had purchased 20 sniffer dogs one and a half years back to detect liquor. One of the dogs, Damini, a German Shepherd, has played an important role in cracking over 2 dozen cases. Two of the dogs - Maddy and Hunter - are experts in detecting liquor from under the ground.
