K9 (Licensed Dogs) Unit
A trained security dog sees, hears and smells what people miss — and few criminals will test one. Our K9 handlers and dogs add powerful deterrence and detection to any deployment.
The risk — and how we manage it
Large perimeters, dark yards, warehouses and open land are hard to cover with officers alone, and intruders know where human patrols can’t see.
Our K9 teams pair qualified, PSIRA-registered dog handlers with trained patrol dogs. Teams are deployed for perimeter and yard patrols, deterrence at high-risk sites and support at events. Dogs are kept, fed, kennelled and cared for to recognised welfare standards.

Frequently asked questions
Are your dog handlers qualified?
Yes. Our dog handlers are PSIRA-registered and trained in dog handling. Dog-handling training is also offered to our officers as a career path.
How do you look after the dogs?
Dogs receive proper kennelling, feeding, veterinary care and rest periods, and their working hours are managed responsibly.
Can a K9 team replace several guards?
On large, open sites a K9 team can cover ground and deter intruders more effectively than an officer alone, which can reduce the total number of posts needed.
Can K9 teams be used at events?
Yes, K9 teams can support access points and crowd areas at events where appropriate.
