K9 security
Dog and handler teams provide a strong visible deterrent on open, remote and higher-risk sites, and can cover more ground than an officer on foot.
What the service involves
A general purpose security dog and its handler are one of the most effective deterrents available for large or exposed sites. A dog's hearing and sense of smell pick up intruders long before a person would, and its presence alone discourages most trespass and theft.
Our K9 teams are deployed with clear instructions for the site, the patrol pattern and what to do if they find someone who should not be there.
Typical duties
- Perimeter, yard and compound patrols
- Out-of-hours and overnight site cover
- Deterrent presence after a break-in or attempted theft
- Checks of fencing, gates, plant and stored materials
- Incident reporting and escalation to the client or police
How it is delivered
A dog and handler work as a team, on short-notice call-outs or as a regular contract. The handler stays in control of the dog at all times and follows written assignment instructions agreed with you.
