Highland Canine Training, LLC offers private detection services for businesses, schools, and private homes. This service allows private businesses to determine whether their facility has an issue with employees using illegal drugs at their workplace. This service also allows companies the opportunity to take a proactive approach to this increasing problem without the initial presence of local law enforcement. Drug detection services allow the employer to promote a Drug Free Workplace as well as providing an unmatched psychological deterrent.

Highland Canine Training, LLC offers teams that are capable of searching residential and commercial structures as well as motor vehicles. Our top-quality dogs are able to easily search a multitude of areas and objects and can detect the odor of illegal narcotics effortlessly. Our narcotics detection dogs are trained to locate the odor of Marijuana, Methamphetamines, Cocaine HCL, Crack Cocaine, Heroin and derivatives.

Our services can be contracted monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or you can be placed on a “will-call” status. These detection sweeps are coordinated with the appropriate company personnel and can be scheduled to suit your company’s needs.

Our handlers and employees are discreet and are held to the utmost confidentiality. We can assist you in implementing an effective plan for properly conducting these random searches within your business. With proper planning, these searches are often very effective and have little or no impact on the day-to-day workflow of your business. In some cases, these searches can be conducted in a manner that most employees never knew that they occurred.

Cost for our services is calculated based on a number of factors including but not limited to:

Size of facility
Area of facility to be covered
Number of employees
Vehicles to be searched (if any)
Scheduling (recurrent scheduling is at a reduced rate)

Highland Canine Training, LLC welcomes the opportunity to visit your facility and provide you with a detailed quote before services are contracted. Our services are very affordable and can easily fit within your budget. For example, a company with 100 employees would spend an average of $50 per employee to have them randomly drug tested once per year. This comes to a cost of $5,000 per year to drug screen each employee only once.

By utilizing detection dog services, the same company, with 100 employees could have their entire business screened once a month for an average cost of $200 per visit, totaling $2,400 per year. Therefore, the employer could have their employees and business screened twelve times more at a savings of $2,600 per year for the employer.

Some businesses are also eligible for insurance discounts when they initiate a proactive drug free workplace program. Check with your insurance provider for available discounts.

Highland Canine Training strives to offer the most professional and effective detection services available. A majority of our handlers are former or current law enforcement handlers. We provide discreet and confidential services for our clients at reasonable rates. You can learn more about our staff and facilities at our website.
