BS 8517-1We deploy trained dog teams to patrol your site. Cameras monitor fixed views and static guards cover assigned posts, while our teams move around the premises. Each handler follows your site rules and agreed routes, keeps the dog under control and calls for support or the police when needed.
Our security dogs can detect scents people cannot smell and alert their handlers to sounds or movement. Scent can reach them from outside the handler’s view, depending on wind, weather and the site layout.
How a dog uses scent →Patrols cover yards, boundaries, buildings and access points. Times and the order of checks can vary to make the team’s movements less predictable.
The sight of a handler with a working dog can discourage unauthorised entry and make an exposed site less attractive to intruders.
Unoccupied sites, weak access points and predictable routines can increase exposure to theft, trespass and disruption.
Vehicles left on site risk theft or damage, disrupting work and deliveries.
Theft of fuel, copper, tools and materials can cause replacement costs and delays.
Vandalism and deliberate fires threaten equipment, buildings and stock on empty sites.
Buildings left empty overnight are vulnerable to theft of stock, tools and equipment.
