K9 Security Units

Prevention is better than cure, and K9 security units are the ultimate deterrent. To a potential intruder, this formidable security presence is too much of a risk.

The security dog and SIA-licensed handler are an established team. Working together, they give you the perfect combination — human expertise alongside canine intelligence and agility.

Dog unit security

Dog unit security is particularly effective for large open areas such as construction sites, warehouses, shopping centres and vacant properties.

When it comes to detection and pursuit, dogs outdo us. A security dog runs three times faster than most humans, and their sense of smell and hearing is remarkable.

  • Before criminals have broken in, dogs can hear them and bark an early warning
  • They can smell smoke, then locate its exact source, before fire causes serious damage
  • Dogs can leap effortlessly over obstacles to reach an intruder within seconds
  • They are highly disciplined. Security dogs are trained to apprehend criminals safely

Given the rigorous training of both dog and handler, K9 security is more affordable than you might think. In fact, the cost of one dog unit is lower than the cost of two security officers.

It’s our job to suggest flexible options which fit your budget, so call the CSG team on 0844 561 0578 and we’ll have a chat.

Key features of K9 security

The ultimate deterrent

K9 security is an unbeatable deterrent. A trained security dog and SIA-licensed handler present too much of a risk for opportunistic thieves and trespassers.

Rigorous training

Our handlers and dogs undergo training together at the National Association of Specialist Dog Users. It’s recognised by the Home Office, SIA and animal welfare groups.

Detection and pursuit

Thanks to their keen senses, dogs can rapidly detect threats. They are fast, agile and athletic over rough ground or when leaping over walls and obstacles.

Safe apprehension

Dogs will only run to intercept when given a direct command by their handler. When apprehending intruders, they’re trained to do this without physical engagement.

Cost-effective security

K9 security is widely considered to be one of the most cost-effective security measures. A single dog unit reduces the need for multiple static officers.

Straightforward pricing

After discussing what’s required, you’ll get a fixed quote. We stick to this, without charging extra and presenting you with a large unexpected bill.

FAQs

You may have some questions about our K9 security service. We’ve answered some of the most common questions here, although please feel free to call us on 0844 561 0578.

Are your dog handlers licensed?

Yes. All our professional dog handlers hold a Security Industry Authority (SIA) license.

The dog and handler work as a permanent team. Both undergo rigorous, ongoing training together at the National Association of Specialist Dog Users (NASDU). The training qualification is recognised by the SIA, the Home Office and animal welfare groups.

In addition, all our officers are vetted in accordance with BS7858 standards. They’ll always carry out their duties with diligence and respect for your staff, assets and property.

Is there a risk that security dogs will bite an intruder?

No. Security dogs are trained to apprehend intruders safely. There’s no physical engagement. Also, they will only run to intercept someone if given a direct command to do so by their handler.

Which types of property can you provide K9 security for?

K9 security can be for virtually any type of commercial property, but it’s particularly effective for large open areas. Construction sites, warehouses, retail parks and vacant premises can all benefit.

To check if your premises can be covered, call the CSG team on 0844 561 0578.

Does the service have to be full time?

Not at all. You may need K9 security for a single event, for covering out-of-hours and over the weekend, or just every now and then.

It could be that mobile K9 patrols are the best option for you. They travel around between different sites and can attend the property at any time — for example, when it’s most vulnerable to crime, or only in response to an alarm being triggered.

Will your officers liaise with the emergency services if required?

If the situation requires a blue light response, yes they will. What’s more, because the callout has come from an accredited security company, the emergency response can be faster. They know it’s a genuine emergency, not a false alarm.
