Scent kits - What are they and how do they work?
Description
For people diagnosed with a memory disorder or family members caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's Disease, the dangers of wandering and getting lost are a major concern.
The Orange County Sheriff's Office offers free Scent Preservation Kits to pre-collect and preserve a person's unique scent ahead of time giving responding K-9 Units a head start during a search with an uncontaminated scent article.
In this episode, Corporal Kyle Ramsey and Deputy Angie Keller talk about how the scent kits work and their usefulness in finding a missing person.
