Our drug detection dogs support security arrangements in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire through two complementary approaches: proactive searches of spaces and belongings, and passive screening around people.
Proactive work focuses on physical search areas. Our handler directs the dog around vehicles, baggage, storage spaces and building interiors, adjusting the route to the layout and agreed scope.
At entrances and other controlled points, passive screening focuses on scent around people. This can complement event or workplace security, with handlers coordinating checks around footfall and established site procedures.
Searches and screening can be scheduled together, allowing different parts of the site to receive attention at suitable times. We follow NASDU standards and maintain clear contact with the person overseeing the deployment.
