The Scent Preservation Kit® is used to pre-collect and preserve a person’s unique scent ahead of time and gives responding K-9 Units a head start during the search by providing the trailing dogs with an uncontaminated scent article. Your scent is as identifiable as your fingerprint to a trained K-9 and can last up to 10 years in our kit.
The preserved scent isn’t touched by other family members, pets, or responders. This means that K-9 Units do not have to go through the time-consuming dismissal process to determine who’s scent is actually on the article. They can begin searching immediately and with greater accuracy when every minute counts.
