Drug Detection

Drug Detection Dogs 

Stuart Phillips K9’s drug detection dog teams function at airports, hospitals, offices, police operations, events and music festivals. 

Our Proactive Drug Detection Dogs detect the presence of drugs by searching vehicles, buildings, temporary structures and outdoor spaces.  

Commanded by the handler, the dog indicates the presence of drugs by giving a passive signal, normally a sit or a 'stand and stare'. 

Our Passive Drug Detection Dogs scan people entering workplaces, nightclubs, festivals, airports and many other environments. 

Worked on a lead by the handler, our dogs make no contact with the people they scan. If drugs are detected on a person, the dog will sit in front of them, giving grounds for a security officer or police officer to conduct a search for unlawful possession of drugs.

Stuart Phillips K9 are licensed by the Home Office to store and keep real drug samples for the purposes of detection dog training. 

We do not use pseudo drugs for training our drug detection dogs.
