A new type of detection dog is helping out police in Taiwan.
It is common to see dogs helping the police sniff out drugs and other illegal materials. In recent years, a new kind of detection dog has been introduced—electronic storage detection dogs. These dogs are trained to recognize the smell of electronic storage devices like smartphones, hard drives, or flash drives.

In September 2023, Taiwan started using its first electronic storage detection dog to help the police find such devices. The dog was named Wafer as a nod to Taiwan’s semiconductor industry. He was donated to Taiwan by an American non-profit organization. Dogs like Wafer can help the police find information that may provide proof of criminal activities.
Wafer is able to detect electronic storage devices by smelling a certain chemical used in most of them. His sense of smell is so strong that he can even sniff out a cellphone in a river. When Wafer is brought to a crime scene, he will begin searching for hidden smartphones or USB drives right away. Since his arrival in Taiwan, he has helped police officers find important evidence in three major criminal cases. With the aid of the electronic storage detection dog, the Taiwanese police can solve cases more quickly and effectively in the future.

一種新型偵測犬正在幫助臺灣警方。
狗狗幫助警察嗅出毒品和其他非法物品是很常見的。近年來，出現了一種新型偵測犬 ── 電子產品偵測犬。這些狗被訓練來識別智慧型手機、硬碟或隨身碟等電子儲存裝置的氣味。
2023 年九月，臺灣開始使用第一隻電子產品偵測犬來幫助警方尋找這類裝置。這隻狗被命名為 Wafer 以向臺灣半導體產業致敬。牠是由一個美國非營利組織捐贈給臺灣的。像 Wafer 這樣的狗可以幫助警方找到或許能作為犯罪活動證據的資訊。
Wafer 能透過聞出大多數電子儲存裝置中使用的某種化學物質來偵測它們。牠的嗅覺非常敏銳，甚至可以在河裡嗅出手機的味道。當 Wafer 被帶到犯罪現場時，牠會立即開始四處搜索隱藏的智慧型手機或隨身碟。自來臺以來，牠已協助警方在三起重大刑事案件中尋找重要證據。有了電子產品偵測犬的幫助，臺灣警方今後可以更快速、更有效地破案。
