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.
We conduct a short pre deployment assessment in Sunderland 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.
