When it comes to finding items that criminals try to hide, the Ottawa Police Service has a secret weapon in their back pocket. Or, to be more precise, a 2-year-old Black Labrador walking on all four paws. Her name is Piper, an Electronic Storage Detection K9 who has a particular set of skills. She has been trained to detect the scent of a chemical found in USB sticks, SD cards, cellphones, AirTags, and even hard drives. These scents, if you can believe it, cannot be detected by the human nose. Kristy Cameron checks in with Ottawa Police Detective Dominic Paykarimah, who works at the service’s Internet Child Exploitation Unit. Of course, we also hear from Piper, the star of today’s show. Plus, we’ve got a public transit update, as crews continue to repair parts of Line 1 following Wednesday’s ice storm. Will the service return to normal this weekend? We take you live to OC Transpo HQ as Hour 2 winds down.
