Event and Venue Drug Detection in Southwark, London

In Southwark, London, we provide drug detection dogs for proactive searches and passive screening, choosing the approach around your premises, visitor movements and security priorities.

In proactive mode, we direct the search towards vehicles, baggage and physical spaces. The handler works through the agreed locations in sequence, adapting the pattern to obstructions, access and site conditions.

Passive screening provides a different approach for people entering a managed space. We position the team around agreed access points, where the dog can sample scent and indicate the presence of a target odour.

We can combine both methods, screening arrivals before searching storage or vehicles at a quieter time. Our handlers work to NASDU standards, with welfare, discretion and clear communication guiding the deployment.
