The capabilities of an accurately trained detection dog handler team are almost limitless, the outcomes effective and their cost savings impressive.
All dogs are certified under realistic test conditions to verify their effectiveness. Further information on our specialised capabilities is available on request.
Explosives Detection Dogs
GSS provides highly trained explosive detection dog teams to support the Home Office, Police and private sector.
We respond swiftly, carry out a full search of the location using our highly trained bomb dogs, remove the threat and allow staff back into the workplace as soon as it is safe to do so. This operation reduces disruption and loss of revenue.
Following an initial Risk and Threat Analysis, we provide recommendations on measures we consider should be implemented. This might include routine of random sweeps by our specialised unit of explosive detection dogs and bomb dogs.
Planned proactive searches are then carried out on a routine or random basis using our highly trained teams of explosive detection dogs and their handlers. We sweep areas for the presence of explosive materials and provide a high profile deterrent.
Reactive searches are targeted to counteract specific threats. These are carried out when intelligence indicates a heightened threat or in response to a tangible threat.
Drugs Detection Dogs
We provide passive drug detection dogs (for people, queues or crowd screening) and proactive detection sniffer dogs (for offices and venues). Our canine sniffer dogs teams are accredited to NPCC Standards and train using the full schedule of Home Office substances (held under Home Office Licence).
Our services are integrated within our client’s substance abuse policy and have led to a reduction in theft, fraud and shrinkage. We provide this service to the police and regularly train our drug detection dogs on new illegal or ‘legal’ substances, e.g. spice.
Our officers are trained in conflict avoidance, ensuring we deliver our service sensitively. We provide urine, saliva and hair testing to support our findings with court admissible reports. We also offer employer and employee advice and support if a problem is discovered.
