Their training means the dogs can now detect minute blood samples at crime scenes.

During the training programme the dogs carried out exercises searching collapsed buildings and crash scenes, including those involving trains.

They also searched sewer systems and worked in and around rivers and canals as well as on moorland, in woods, buildings and vehicles.
