Passive & Pro Active Drugs Dogs

Drug Detection Dogs Alpha K9's specially trained dogs can locate the scent of Cocaine, Heroin, Marijuana, Methamphetamine, Crack Cocaine, Opium and other illegal substances. All our dogs and handlers have been trained by home office approved trainers. They have been trained to indicate to their handler when  they locate an illicit substance. This passive alert is highly affective as it does not raise anxiety levels. We are able to provide these dogs for: Social venues Workplaces, factories & offices etc Places of education: schools, colleges & universities. Alpha K9 currently work alongside both Merseyside and Greater Manchester Police, assisting in organised drug operations. This involves accompanying teams of officers around busy pubs and clubs, bus stations, universities, colleges and café bars. Our detection dogs and handlers are then deployed to carry out both passive and pro-active searches of persons and buildings. Once the dog has indicated to the handler the police take over and deal with the situation. Positive feedback has come from the police force itself and the licensees of the premises that the use of the detection dog has a significant effect and sends out the message that drug use will not be tolerated. The general public have also come forward saying that they feel safer knowing that positive action is being taken to reduce drug activity in their area. Our highly trained dog teams are acclimatised to working in busy, noisy environments and are prepared for every eventuality. It has been proven that the use of specialist detection dogs can be highly effective in deterring the use of drugs and drug related incidents; violence, absenteeism and insurance claims. It has also aided public houses and nightclubs to retain their entertainment license.By using drug detection dogs and advertising a drug free zone it could help keep your insurance premiums at a reasonable level. Insurance premiums can be dramatically increased should incidents occur on your premises. The use of drug detection dogs on your premises would send out a clear message to employees, clients and customers that you operate an anti-drug policy.

Our dogs are the same cost effective method now in use by industry and governments world-wide. Companies and employers by law, must maintain a drug free work place, while employees and customers both demand it and expect it.
