The use of crime scene detection dogs to locate semen stains on different types of fabric.

In sexual assault cases, the detection and identification of semen is extremely important as this type of evidence can be used as a source for investigative leads and contributes to case evidence. However, the detection of semen stains is often difficult, even indoors, because of different (environmental) factors, such as substrate type, coloured items and large search areas. In 2015, a project was initiated by the Dutch police to evaluate the feasibility of the use of detection dogs to locate semen stains in forensic practise.
