A vacant commercial property in the Leicester area was experiencing repeated trespass, including people gaining access to the roof. With the building unoccupied and a public route close to the site, the client needed a visible security presence that could actively monitor the property.
Colosseum K9 was brought in to provide security dog handler cover.
At a Glance
Site: Vacant commercial property
Location: Leicester
Risk: Repeated trespass and unauthorised roof access
Service: Security dog handler
The Challenge
The property had been targeted repeatedly while vacant.
People were entering the site and, in some cases, getting onto the roof. That created an ongoing trespass problem and a wider safety concern because of the roof access and the public route close to the property.
With no normal day-to-day activity inside the building, the site also had very little natural surveillance.
The client needed more than an empty property that appeared unattended. They wanted a visible presence that could actively check the site and make unauthorised access less attractive.
What We Did
Colosseum K9 deployed a security dog handler to the Leicester site.
The handler and dog provided an active presence around the property and could move between relevant access points, boundaries and exposed areas rather than remaining in one fixed position.
The dog remained under controlled handling throughout the deployment, with concerns reported and escalated where required.
For a vacant building with an ongoing trespass problem, the main advantage was simple: the site no longer looked or felt unattended.
The Result
Following the deployment, the client reported a reduction in the trespass and roof-access incidents that had led to the security requirement.
The property also had a much clearer visible security presence during the periods when it was most exposed.
The handler’s ability to move around the site provided active coverage across the property and allowed potential concerns to be identified directly rather than relying only on passive measures.
For this Leicester property, security dog handler cover provided a practical response to repeated trespass and the additional safety risk created by unauthorised roof access.
