For premises and events in Reading, Berkshire, we plan canine searches around access arrangements, operational routines and safeguarding needs, using proactive or passive methods as appropriate.
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.
When proactive searching is required, we work through designated vehicles, storage areas and rooms in an organised way. The handler guides the dog towards accessible locations where substances might be concealed.
We can bring both approaches into one agreed deployment, adjusting timings around arrivals and quieter periods. We follow NASDU standards and keep your responsible staff informed about progress and any indications requiring attention.
