I have seen a few comments about training dogs to locate evidence. My general question is how do you train your dogs to locate these things? I understand guns training off of the used gunpowder residue odor. Knifes i am guessing you train on the odor of the blood? After those two simple thoughts i am lost.

Where did you hear of dogs being used to find evidence? Was it any evidence indiscriminately or just articles related to the suspect? The only thing I can think of is simply having the dog search for articles with the suspects odor on them, similiar to tracking. Other than that, I sure am interested in how it is done too.
We did have an unusual case here a while back though. One of the guys we train with has a cadaver dog. He puts out narcotics for us and we hide his body parts for him.
Anyway, while investigating a homicide, the investigator noticed that the victim had been pistol whipped. This was evident by the missing skin etc. About 24 hrs later a witness said they saw the subject throw a weapon out of the window of the car while driving down the highway, and they gave a general location within 200 yards or so. The cadaver dog was brought out and he did locate the gun in a 6-8 inch hole full of water. I was really impressed to hear that he indicated on such a small amount of skin residue.
