Canada’s Premier K9 Drug Detection for High-Risk Industries
A drug-free workplace is non-negotiable for safety-critical operations. ASP Security Services delivers the largest private Narcotics Detection Dog (NDD) solution in Canada, with over 55 licensed handler teams currently deployed.
We specialize in securing complex, high-liability environments—from remote gold mines and nuclear power plants to international shipping hubs. Our NAPCH-certified teams provide visible deterrence and precise detection, ensuring compliance with fit-for-duty policies and federal regulations.
Industry-Specific Security Solutions
We adapt our protocols to the unique logistical and safety challenges of your sector.
Mining & Remote Project Sites
In remote operations, the safety of your workforce is paramount. ASP has extensive experience securing mining camps and remote project sites (including gold and precious metal operations).
- Camp & Accommodation Sweeps: We conduct regular patrols of living quarters and common areas to prevent substance abuse in fly-in/fly-out environments.
- Access Control: Our teams screen personnel and baggage at main gates and transportation hubs (such as bus terminals) before they enter the site.
- Vehicle Searches: Comprehensive screening of contractor vehicles and heavy equipment entering the job site.
Nuclear & Power Generation
Critical infrastructure demands the highest level of scrutiny. We are the trusted K9 partner for major energy providers, including Bruce Power and Ontario Power Generation.
- Compliance Assurance: Our teams support strict “Fitness for Duty” programs essential for nuclear regulatory compliance.
- Non-Intrusive Screening: We screen lockers, break rooms, and administrative offices without disrupting plant operations.
Cargo, Logistics & International Shipping
For shippers and international freight forwarders, maintaining a secure supply chain is vital. ASP protects your cargo integrity.
- Warehouse Sweeps: Regular patrols of large-scale warehouse complexes to detect illicit substances in transit.
- Parcel & Freight Inspection: Targeted screening of parcels, pallets, and mail to intercept narcotics before they cross borders.
Detecting the Modern Threat Spectrum
Drug concealment methods are constantly evolving. ASP detection dogs are trained on live substances to identify a wide range of narcotics, including those often missed by visual inspection.
Consumables & Edibles
We detect substances disguised as everyday food items, a growing concern in workplace safety:
- Edibles: Infused cookies, candies, and teas.
- Inhalants: Vape pens, resins, oils, and cigarettes.
Non-Consumables & Pharmaceuticals
Our dogs are trained to alert on concealed substances in various forms:
- Topicals: Lotions, creams, and organic oils.
- Hidden Forms: Powders, gels, and liquids.
- Medications: Undeclared prescription drugs and pharmaceutical.
Our Operational Methodology
We don’t just “walk the dog.” We execute a strategic search plan tailored to your security posture.
- General Sweeps: Routine, random patrols of workspaces and accommodations to establish a consistent standard of safety and high-visibility deterrence.
- Targeted Inspections: Precision searches based on actionable intelligence provided by your internal security or HR teams.
- 24/7 Coverage: We deploy full-time rotating K9 teams to ensure round-the-clock protection for facilities that never sleep.
