Explosive & Pyrotechnics Detection Dogs
Specialist canine detection for explosives, pyrotechnics and related materials
Abacus provides professional explosive and pyrotechnics detection dog services for organisations requiring fast, controlled and effective screening across a wide range of environments.
Our trained canine teams can search venues, transport environments, vehicles, buildings, cargo, open areas and controlled access points, helping clients identify potential threats quickly and with minimal disruption.
Proactive searches
Proactive searches use trained dogs to systematically sweep areas for target scents associated with explosives, fireworks, flares and other pyrotechnic materials.
Depending on the environment, dogs can search buildings, vehicles, luggage, cargo, storage areas and open spaces, allowing substantial areas to be covered efficiently.
Passive screening
Passive screening can be used in environments where people are moving through controlled entry points, queues or busy public spaces.
Dogs remain on-lead and screen individuals without physical contact, providing a discreet and effective detection presence where security needs to be maintained without unnecessary disruption.
Professional indication and response
When a dog identifies a trained target scent, it performs a specific pre-trained indication to alert the handler.
An indication is treated as the basis for further investigation and allows the client, security team or relevant authority to follow the appropriate safety and response procedures.
Tailored to your environment
Every deployment is planned around the client’s site, operational objectives and level of risk. Abacus can provide both overt and discreet deployments, from one-off events and searches to recurring screening programmes for fixed locations.
Our canine teams can support transport, entertainment, construction, public-sector and other security-sensitive environments across the UK and internationally.
