Accredited Drug Detection Dogs across Hastings, East Sussex

In Hastings, East Sussex, we provide drug detection dog services that operate in proactive and passive modes to match venue risk and people flow.

In a proactive model, we plan routes and conduct targeted inspections across vehicles, equipment stores, bag drops and building interiors, using clear cues and reward to pinpoint contraband.

A passive approach watches people in motion. While queues advance the dog detects trace odour on clothing or belongings which works well at events, school grounds and manned checkpoints.

We keep checks efficient and respectful, protecting welfare, reputation and the visitor experience while achieving reliable outcomes. Standards are anchored by NASDU training, with CHAS, SafeContractor and Constructionline accreditations providing clear oversight and accountability. Depending on the time of day we can alternate, using passive checks to keep queues moving and proactive searches to secure vehicles, storage and indoor spaces. Both modes can run in sequence, with passive screening safeguarding entrances and proactive teams clearing vehicles, baggage zones and interior areas afterward.
