Narcotics Detector Dog

A vital tool in the fight against drug trafficking, Narcotics Detection Dogs offer natural mobility and an inherent versatility, providing a fast and accurate means of detection of illegal drugs.

Karenswood has a long-standing reputation for providing dependable narcotics detection dogs, each undergoing rigorous expert training that ensures exceptional skill and reliability in drug detection.

Beyond Technology

There is a multitude of sophisticated mechanical drug detection available on the market, however, most of this equipment is specific for certain chemical radicals, meaning that they are only configured to detect one chemical element of a substance.

In comparison, a well trained, well handled Narcotics Detection Dog not only alerts to the presence of a wider range of substances, but also provides a vital first response, allowing the handler to investigate further and pinpoint the exact location of the hidden drugs.

Technological narcotics detection instruments are also very expensive, difficult to use and easy to damage, leading to greater operating costs.

This human-canine partnership offers a level of nuance and adaptability that surpasses purely technological solutions, with the ideal dog being highly portable and offering far greater versatility in terms of substance scope.
