City of London, London Drug Detection Dog Service

In City of London, London, we field proactive and passive drug detection dogs, aligning the method with crowd behaviour and site rules.

A proactive phase focuses on environments rather than people. Handlers guide the dog through vehicle lanes, storage lockers, baggage racks and workspaces to detect hidden items.

A passive approach watches people in motion. While queues advance the dog detects trace odour on clothing or belongings which works well at events, school grounds and manned checkpoints.

All work is delivered by handlers trained to NASDU standards and supported by our CHAS, SafeContractor and Constructionline credentials so ethics and compliance are evident. You receive steady, ethical delivery that protects people and places while keeping access routes moving. We adapt hour by hour, using passive checks to protect the people flow and proactive sweeps to secure assets and spaces across the site. Depending on the time of day we can alternate, using passive checks to keep queues moving and proactive searches to secure vehicles, storage and indoor spaces.
