Electronic Devices Detection Dogs
Mobile phones are fast becoming one of the most sought-after items of contraband within U.K. and prison facilities throughout the world. Their value between the criminal fraternity inside of prisons and correctional institutes is immense.
Due to their size, they are often easily smuggled into facilities and once inside, they are used by criminal elements to continue running illegal businesses. Mobile phones have their own unique odour. The dog’s ability to discriminate between odours means the mobile phone cannot be concealed using masking odours.
Regardless of where the phone is concealed or what it is concealed within, the trained detection dog will have the ability to discriminate against none target odours and work through the various scent pictures to locate the hidden mobile phone.
Our dogs are also trained to find Mobile data storage devices, USB sticks, SD cards and Micro SD cards, Hard drives. We can provide trained Electronic Devices Detection Dogs to clients with such requirements.
