In Newcastle upon Tyne, Ranger Security Solutions 360° tobacco detection dogs are highly effective at locating illicit tobacco and related products hidden in retail units, warehouses and vehicles.

Where can tobacco detection dogs be deployed in Newcastle upon Tyne and across the UK?

Typical deployments include retail compliance checks, trading standards operations, market inspections, ports and logistics hubs, licensed premises, storage facilities, business parks and organised events. Our handlers work alongside your team to minimise disruption, isolate finds safely and produce evidential reports that help you take prompt action.

Are tobacco detection dog searches legal on private premises and at events in Newcastle upon Tyne?

Yes, with the correct permissions. On private property the owner or authorised manager can consent to searches, and we integrate with trading standards, compliance managers and venue security to align with your policies. We brief all stakeholders in advance, set clear search boundaries and signpost voluntary cooperation for staff or stallholders. Where required, we coordinate with enforcement partners so any suspected illegal tobacco is handled appropriately.

How should we prepare a site in Newcastle upon Tyne, and what happens on the day?

We conduct a short pre deployment assessment in Newcastle upon Tyne to confirm access, risk controls and welfare facilities for the dog. On arrival we hold a safety briefing, agree the route plan and begin systematic searches covering stockrooms, shopfloors, vehicles and likely concealment areas. Any indications are photographed, logged and escalated to your nominated lead. Our NASDU qualified handlers prioritise animal welfare, maintain chain of custody for finds and provide a concise post search report with next steps.
