Drug Detection
Passive Detection Dogs – The role of these dogs is to detect the presence of controlled drugs on a person. On detection of drugs the dogs are trained to sit where it has found a controlled substance. All our dogs and handlers are deployed to a variety of environments, scanning both moving and stationary lines and groups of people without coming into contact with them.
​
Proactive Detection Dogs – The roles of these dogs are to detect the presence of controlled drugs in a number of environments such as buildings, yards, fields and vehicles. Like our passive detection dogs, our proactive dogs are also trained to sit when they find a controlled substance to signal the handler of their find.
General Purpose Security Dog's
Shadow Response Security dogs are trained to pick up on intruders or hidden persons by scent, sight or sound, they are trained to protect their handler by standing their ground and showing controlled aggression, when confronted with threatening behaviour and are able to detain a suspect until the authorities arrive to deal with the situation.
The combination of a security officer and security dog are the ideal choice and extremely effective.
Explosive Detection Dog's
Explosive Detector Dog Teams (EDDT) provide a strong visible deterrent against criminal and terrorist threats. Correctly trained EDDT are the most effective countermeasure available for Explosives Detection. They also provide immediate response to bomb threats and unattended packages or vehicles, most often allowing the EDDT to quickly rule out the presence of dangerous materials and allow the client to continue operating with minimal interruption.
The teams can be used to protect:
-
Huge open areas such as golf courses, schools, recreation areas, parks etc
-
Areas with restricted line of site such as large construction projects, warehouses and transport yards.

For areas too dangerous for security guards alone, gang related problems, underground parking, shopping centres or high crime areas.
