Our drug detection dogs support security arrangements in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear through two complementary approaches: proactive searches of spaces and belongings, and passive screening around people.
A proactive search gives us a methodical way to examine premises and belongings. We agree which vehicles, lockers, luggage areas or indoor spaces need attention before the team starts work.
Passive screening can support managed entry at venues, workplaces and educational premises. We work around individuals at agreed points, balancing the search task with the practical needs of those arriving or passing through.
Where useful, we plan both approaches within the same visit, coordinating search activity with site staff. We follow NASDU standards and keep welfare, respectful conduct and practical reporting central to our work.
