Drug detection dogs operate across a wide range of environments where preventing illegal substance use is essential. Typical deployments include nightclubs, festivals, educational institutions, airports, ports, logistics centres, workplaces, and correctional facilities. Each dog is expertly trained to identify numerous controlled substances such as cannabis, cocaine, heroin, MDMA, ketamine, and the unlawful possession or distribution of prescription drugs.

In St Albans, Hertfordshire, we deliver planned drug detection support for workplaces, venues and other managed settings, agreeing the search method and operational boundaries before deployment.
Passive screening centres on people rather than searching rooms or vehicles. Our dog samples scent around individuals at managed entrances or queues, giving a trained indication if it detects a target odour.
For a proactive deployment, we establish a search route through the relevant spaces. Vehicles, lockers, bags and rooms can be checked in a planned sequence rather than approached at random.
A combined deployment can cover entry screening alongside planned searches elsewhere on site. We work to NASDU standards and agree responsibilities with your team so any indications receive an appropriate, coordinated response.
