CISF dog squads are primarily trained for security purposes, which include detection of explosives and narcotics. IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) fall under the category of explosives. Narcotics detection is also a standard function. While dogs *can* be trained for metallic weapons, it is less common than explosives or narcotics detection in general security contexts. Detection of specific food items like pickle or general smuggled food items is not a typical task for security force dog squads. Therefore, sniffing and identifying Narcotics (2) and IEDs (4) are standard capabilities.

Security dog squads are commonly trained for explosive detection (including IEDs) and narcotics detection.

Specialized dog squads are vital assets in security operations, particularly at airports, industrial units, and sensitive locations guarded by CISF. Their olfactory capabilities are leveraged to detect substances or items that pose security threats, with explosives and narcotics being primary targets due to their association with terrorism, smuggling, and crime.
