Protect plant, vehicles, containers and materials held in compounds and yards.
A stronger deterrent for larger and higher-risk sites.
Professional dog-handler teams for large, open, remote and higher-risk locations where ordinary foot patrols offer limited coverage.
Service overview
What this service provides
A security dog handler team provides a highly visible deterrent and covers more ground than a lone officer on foot. Dog handler teams are particularly effective for large compounds, open land, remote sites and periods of elevated risk.

Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
When is a dog handler better than a security guard?
Dog teams suit large, open or remote sites and periods of heightened risk. For entrances, gatehouses and access control a security officer is usually more appropriate. Many sites use both.
Are dog handlers licensed?
Handlers hold the appropriate SIA licence for their role. Further details of training and standards can be provided on request.
