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.

We help site managers and event organisers in Gateshead, Tyne and Wear plan drug detection checks that suit their environment, balancing thorough search activity with considerate handling of visitors.
Proactive deployment involves a dog and handler searching selected spaces for drug odour. Depending on the brief, this can cover parked vehicles, baggage storage, lockers and rooms within the premises.
For people screening, a passive dog samples scent around individuals rather than conducting a premises search. We agree suitable positions and arrangements with the organiser, taking visitor movements and safeguarding requirements into account.
We can alternate between these methods as the agreed brief requires, keeping site staff informed throughout. Our handlers follow NASDU standards and prioritise considerate working practices, canine welfare and proportionate delivery.
