Inquest Canine Detection & Security LTD

Inquest Canine Detection & Security LTD NCTAS-P Affiliated NTIPDU, NASDU & NCTAS-P accredited handlers, giving all our clients a choice! We make all these available via a link to our clients.

Inquest Canine Detection & Security Limited offer three different types of detection dog teams. A pro-active search dog team which is used to search areas, vehicles, buildings & shipping containers etc. the passive search dog team trained to scan the air around static or moving persons, and the dual purpose detection dog team, specially trained to carry out the proactive and passive types of searc

hes. We hold on file all accreditations and training records for ALL our dogs and handlers and never deploy either until they have completed or passed the relevant training course applicable to the role they will be carrying out. Sniffer dogs can be trained to detect virtually any odour in many different environments and locations. Our dogs are trained to locate target scents on persons, in vehicles, concealed in bags or buildings and are comprisable to teams operating in the public sector. The dogs are well trained to UK and European standards and the handlers are self motivated and experienced. We also integrate well with other security personnel during a deployment, which makes for an overall efficient and professional experience for the client and attending public. A full confidential written report is made available following every deployment, this is sent across to the client should they wish to receive it, we then keep it on file. We have in place procedures and policies designed to keep our dogs safe, secure and efficient during deployments, our handlers strictly adhere to these policies as failing to do so is classed as gross misconduct and will lead to the handlers employment being terminated. Our Canine Welfare Policy is sent across to all our clients before we engage in any deployments. A through risk assessment and method statement is compiled ahead of every deployment, these then make up the fundamental basis of our briefings, which all handlers must attend prior to tasking of the dog. We ask all our handlers to sign these reports to provide confirmation of their understanding. Our Canine Management Supervisor, or her representative, who is deployed on all our canine operations, will take full responsibility for our dogs and handlers and will be the liaison between ICDS and our client’s representative on the ground. We make these risk assessments and method statements available to our client and by using Smart Phone technology we can send these via email as soon as they have been completed. At the end of each event we debrief with the handlers and client to discuss our performance and any learning outcomes or practices that could make us better in future. If any learning outcomes are identified we endeavor to put these into place ahead of our next deployment. In addition to dog handling all our handlers are trained in drug awareness, drug identification, Misuse of Drugs Act, licensing laws, evidence handling, report writing, health & safety, basic canine first aid and conflict management. All our handlers are SIA licensed in either Door Supervision or Close Protection. Inquest Canine Detection & Security Limited comply fully with all relevant British Standards, namely the BS 8517 – 1:2016 and the BS 8517 – 2:2016 that are the Codes of Practice for the use of security and detection dogs, for which our managing director, Dean Porter, is on the committee for the development of. We are also fully insured to carry out detection services. ICDS offers an individual, bespoke service with complete confidentiality and discretion assured. Working in partnership with our clients, we provide a solution, which helps ensure your compliance to combating drugs in the workplace. We do not sub contract our deployments to a 3rd party. We are fully accountable for our actions, and those by our dogs and their handlers. By employing the services of Drug Detection Dogs this does not mean you have a drug problem in your environment, it simply means you do not want one.

2017 Annual Security Industry Authority Approved Contractor Assessment results now in. Last years overall score was a very respectable 83 points, but this years score is an amazing 100 points, thats an increase of 20.48%. We were assessed on things such as Strategy, Processes, Resources, Financial Management, Our staff and our leadership, our customer and end user feedback, our CSF, KPI, and our Policies and Procedures. We are so proud of these results, baring in mind our company is only 5 years old, and we have NEVER used any consultants! Our canine section received amazing feedback scoring us 100% on our CSERS and getting highly praised by our assessor.
