Substance abuse, apart from being a criminal activity, can lead if unchecked, to reduced productivity; safety concerns, increased health and absentee problems, and can have a direct impact on Workers Compensation and liability situations.

Areas of concern for business/industry (where substance abuse can be directly or indirectly involved) include:

• Office areas (general and productivity concerns)
• Warehouse/shipping facilities (accidents, productivity, damage and theft concerns).
• Transport equipment and operators (safety concerns involving cargo, equipment , operators and the public
• Inadequate testing programs, such as urine analysis, which is fraught with problems.

Although we in house test our dogs, they must, according to our standards, be independently tested and certified with documentation, by a Police department as well as an independent civilian organization that is also overseen by Police Standards.  No other privately owned detection dogs can attest to this.

What can be detected

Our dogs are trained to detect all “popular” illicit substance including marijuana, hashish, hash oil, cocaine, crack cocaine, heroin, meth and ecstasy.   Although it is impossible to train for all chemical substances (due to pharmaceutical companies constantly altering the formulas) it is not uncommon for many types of pills to also be detected.  Any paraphernalia used such as pipes, pens, paper clips, bottles, roach clips, razor blades, droppers, needles etc. are also detected.

Unlike other canine units our dogs are also proficient at detecting residual odours and residue.  Locating areas where substances are used or stored although actual substance has been removed, can be an invaluable tool in identifying problem areas or persons.

Any substance found can be subjected to a presumptive chemical test.  It is the responsibility of the client to turn any substance found over to the appropriate authorities.

Service Expectations

The most effective deterrent is the establishment of a program involving regular searches that are effective in their results as well as providing a visible deterrent.  Combinations of “open” and “secret” searches are a consideration.

For searches to be effective it is important that details of the search not be generally known in advance.  Specific areas can be targeted but keeping general in nature, resolves “harassment” concerns.

Our service can be advantageous in that utilizing persons outside your company helps to resolve any concerns with collusion and by maintaining anonymity.

It is the decision of the client what is done with the information resulting from the search.

All searches are conducted with confidentially.
