Keeping Facilities Clear
We offer services to search rehabilitations centers, clinics, hospitals, and halfway homes. Our canine drug detection is an effective solution to keeping rehabilitation facilities safe for staff and those in recovery.
Elite K9 Detection conducts both one-time drug sweeps and customized ongoing programs to maintain a drug-free facility. Our discreet searches help to deter and keep people in compliance.
In the event that any narcotics are detected during the search, our handler-dog team will identify the specific location. It is then up to your team to handle the findings.
What to Expect for a Facility Search
Before our arrival at your business, we will contact you to discuss the following details and plan accordingly:
We will determine the best time to conduct the search as to not disrupt your daily treatments and if you want it to be a visible search or more discreet.
Our handlers can adapt to your specific needs and dress in either uniform or plain street clothes, depending on the discretion required.
It is generally recommended not to notify employees or those in recovery prior to the search, although having a clear policy stating that drug searches may be conducted on the premises is beneficial.
We will work with your team to determine the specific areas that need to be searched and the frequency of our visits.
Upon arrival, our handler will meet your designated contact person and conduct a preliminary tour of the search areas, without the dog present. Subsequently, the handler will discuss the plan of action, answer any questions, and have you sign the EK9D standard agreement before commencing the search.
The Search
During the search, it is necessary for your representative to accompany the K9 detection team throughout the process in your facilities. If multiple K9 teams are involved, an observer should be provided for each team. The handler will lead the K-9 through each room in a designated pattern, paying attention to subtle signs indicating the presence of narcotics. Areas of indication will be marked by the handler for further investigation once the search is complete. If requested, the handler can also observe the search for narcotics conducted by the representative, providing general guidance.
If Found
If suspicious substances are found and there is doubt regarding their nature, EK9D can use a field test kit to confirm whether they are illegal narcotics. In the event that narcotics are discovered, it is the responsibility of the facility to dispose of them, following our recommendations. If desired, we can provide a written report within three business days of the search. Please note, that there is an additional fee for a report, as well as for drug identification confirmation.
Our comprehensive search covers various areas within your facility, including employee lockers, offices, desks, cubicles, breakrooms, restrooms, sleeping quarters, treatment rooms, parking lots, vehicles, and the surrounding grounds.
EK9D is committed to helping those recovering maintain a drug-free environment and their overall success in becoming drug free.
