Wigan, Greater Manchester Drug Detection Dog Service

In Wigan, Greater Manchester, our drug detection dogs work proactively and passively so the task fits the setting and the way visitors move through it.

Passive work concentrates on the human scent picture. The dog samples air currents as people pass in queues or crowds, a practical choice for events, school premises and staffed entry points.

Depending on the time of day we can alternate, using passive checks to keep queues moving and proactive searches to secure vehicles, storage and indoor spaces.

Standards are anchored by NASDU training, with CHAS, SafeContractor and Constructionline accreditations providing clear oversight and accountability. We keep checks efficient and respectful, protecting welfare, reputation and the visitor experience while achieving reliable outcomes. We adapt hour by hour, using passive checks to protect the people flow and proactive sweeps to secure assets and spaces across the site. Depending on the time of day we can alternate, using passive checks to keep queues moving and proactive searches to secure vehicles, storage and indoor spaces.
