Pro-active Search Dog Teams  can search almost any type of property  or vehicle for the presence of illegal substances and firearms.

Pro-active search dogs are trained to search buildings, outside areas and vehicles but not humans so are able to work in sensitive facilities such as schools, care centres and business premises.

Drug Detection Services use pro-active search dog teams to locate hidden or discarded illegal substances helping clients to reduce health and safety incidents and to deter staff from using or storing drug paraphernalia on site.

Passive Search Dog Teams are used to search humans for illegal substances and are often used at entry points to pubs, clubs and  private or public events.

Drug and alcohol misuse costs UK businesses around £3 billion a year just through staff absentees and it has not been recorded how much is lost through reduced productivity and mistakes.

The majority of businesses have a drug and alcohol policy for their staff but no means to enforce it.

High visibility searches carried out during working hours act as a major deterrent for those staff thinking about using or storing drug related paraphernalia on business premises or private property.

Searches after hours can also be carried if it is felt that a search during normal working hours would be too disrupting for the business.
