In Sheffield, Ranger Security Solutions 360° tobacco detection dogs are highly effective at locating illicit tobacco and related products hidden in retail units, warehouses and vehicles. Our dogs are trained to indicate on hand rolling tobacco, counterfeit cigarettes, bulk leaf and scent traces on packaging, clothing and concealment points. We follow structured search plans, maintain meticulous records and operate to recognised standards supported by our accreditations with NASDU, CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor.
We provide a national service throughout England, Wales and Scotland, and regularly support clients in Sheffield. Typical deployments include retail compliance checks, trading standards operations, market inspections, ports and logistics hubs, licensed premises, storage facilities, business parks and organised events. Our handlers work alongside your team to minimise disruption, isolate finds safely and produce evidential reports that help you take prompt action.
Yes, with the correct permissions. On private property the owner or authorised manager can consent to searches, and we integrate with trading standards, compliance managers and venue security to align with your policies. We brief all stakeholders in advance, set clear search boundaries and signpost voluntary cooperation for staff or stallholders. Where required, we coordinate with enforcement partners so any suspected illegal tobacco is handled appropriately.
We conduct a short pre deployment assessment in Sheffield to confirm access, risk controls and welfare facilities for the dog. On arrival we hold a safety briefing, agree the route plan and begin systematic searches covering stockrooms, shopfloors, vehicles and likely concealment areas. Any indications are photographed, logged and escalated to your nominated lead. Our NASDU qualified handlers prioritise animal welfare, maintain chain of custody for finds and provide a concise post search report with next steps.
