Dog Patrols & Static Dog Handlers
We provide mobile dog patrols as part of our mobile patrol package. A mobile dog patrol does exactly the same job as our traditional security patrol but with the added bonus of an extra pair of eyes and indeed a good nose to detect the presence of someone who should not be there in our experience criminals tend to stay well clear of properties which could have guard dogs in the area. Our mobile dog patrols are ideal for premises with large open areas such as:
• Car Sales Forecourts
• Builder’s Yards
• Building Sites
• Storage Depots
Static Dog Handlers
The same as our traditional static security guard but with the added benefit of a fully trained patrol dog ideal for building sites storage yards or indeed areas where the officer has to patrol externally and where there is little or no light the dog can generally detect if someone is in the area and alert its handler again criminals tend to stay clear of properties which are protected with a guard dog.
All of our dogs are single handler operated they only ever work with the same dog handler and are never multi handled. We have our own kennels and all dogs are trained and owned by us other than those owned personally by their handlers we have our own in-house trainers and all handlers and dogs undergo refresher training on a monthly basis we are fully insured for dog work and all dogs undergo monthly health checks by a local vet our kenneling facility is also approved and inspected by the RSPCA.

A static security guard also known as uniformed security officers. They are the front line in protecting your premises whether they are reception based making sure only those permitted are allowed entry to your premises or are based in the gate house /entrance to your site and only permitting authorised vehicles entry and indeed exit.
They are in our opinion and that of the police and insurers the best solution to most company’s security requirements. The officer is usually based inside the building and will do internal patrols with guard data patrol points similar to our mobile service showing you the client he was actually performing his duties of protecting your premises the system we use for static guards is a piece of equipment with a charging station and printer so you can view daily the list of patrols the officer has undertaken during his/Her shift.
He/she can also perform external patrols of the premises and make sure perimeters are not breached by anyone having a real human presence also will deter even the most persistent criminal the criminal does not want to be caught we also provide free of charge to you supervisory visits to our staff. From one of our duty managers.
