Dogs that attack people and animals can now be traced using new DNA technology being issued to local councils, the NSW government says.
A pack, including DNA collection swabs, gloves and tamper-proof evidence bags will enable council rangers to collect DNA from a dog's saliva, blood, hair or faeces and send it away for testing.
"The community expects to be protected against dangerous dogs," Local Government Minister Paul Lynch said in a statement.
"NSW has the toughest dog laws in Australia, giving councils greater powers to keep dangerous dogs off the streets."
