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.
Providing K9 drug detection in:
In Exeter, Devon, we provide drug detection dogs for proactive searches and passive screening, choosing the approach around your premises, visitor movements and security priorities.
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.
With passive deployment, we screen around individuals at an agreed location, such as an entrance or queue. The handler observes the dog’s trained response and follows the site’s arrangements if an indication occurs.
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.
