Drug Detection Dogs Services London: Proactive Canine Security Across the UK
The Use of Drug Detection Dogs in Today’s Security
Dog detection dogs are used in settings where preventing the use of illicit drugs is key. For instance, they are used in nightclubs, music festivals, schools, airports, ports, bus and rail terminals, warehouses, workplaces, and custodial settings. Drug detection dogs are trained to detect a variety of controlled drugs, including cannabis, cocaine, heroin, MDMA, ketamine, and any prescription drugs that are being misused and/or trafficked.
Trusted and Accredited Drug Detection Teams in London and Nationwide
Drug detection dogs are deployed in two forms, proactive and passive. Proactive drug detection involves the dog/handler actively searching environments like vehicles, lockers, luggage, or a building and locating hidden drugs. Passive drug detection is when the focus is on the scent of drugs on individuals. In passive deployments, the dog is scanning individuals as they pass through adjacent to each other in a line or a crowd. Passive police dog drugs detection is ideal for events, school properties or controlled access entry and exit points where people flow continuously.
The effectiveness of drug detection dogs is based on their thorough training, and their innate characteristics. Drug detection dogs learn to connect the scent of illegal drugs with a positive time-based reward and are reinforced with a reward subject such as a toy or praise to facilitate maximum enthusiasm and consistency. The training is refined to a high standard, and maintained on a regular basis, so that the dogs can be expected to deliver reliable results in some of the most stressful environments. K9 Security Ltd works to defined welfare protocols and operational standards, to ensure that dogs and handlers are functioning not only quickly and efficiently, but ethically.
