Working alongside the police, council licensing departments, licensees, town centre safety managers, and pub watch groups, our experienced dog and handler teams support efforts to reduce public disorder and criminal activity in licensed premises.
We understand it can be difficult for licensees to spot criminal behaviour, particularly the sale of drugs on their premises. From pubs, clubs and music venues to hotels, arenas and stadiums, we can support you in taking a proactive approach to prevent criminal activity.
All our handlers are certified by the National Association of Security Dog Users (NASDU) and hold a Security Industry Authority (SIA) Door Supervisor licence.
Whether you require our services for a one-off assignment, or you are a licensee and would like us to provide a regular service to deter criminal activity at your premises, please get in touch.
Our drug detection dogs are able to identify drugs passively and proactively in your pub, hotel, nightclub, or restaurant.
Should drugs be uncovered, you can take action by implementing the procedures in your drugs policy. In passive searches, our dogs scan customers as they enter and spend time in your establishment. In a proactive search, dogs scale large areas quickly before guests arrive, working off lead when it is safe to do so.
As licensed premises tend to house expensive equipment and vast quantities of alcohol, utilising patrol dogs for security purposes can be the ultimate crime deterrent.
Dogs have advanced senses, and our specially trained dogs can detect the presence of intruders much faster than a human. Replacing a valuable sound system and other expensive assets can be extremely costly for a business.
Illegal or counterfeit tobacco does not comply with UK safety standards and can cause extreme health risks. Our tobacco detection dogs are trained to identify real and fake tobacco, even if it is hidden behind a wall or under a floor.
To help the fight against the illegal tobacco trade, we work with law enforcement associations and organisations to search licensed premises.
Our detection dogs are highly trained to detect illegal Class A and Class B substances in any location across the UK.
Our tobacco detection dogs are trained to detect real and fake tobacco and search for contraband, which helps fight the illegal tobacco trade.
From crowd control to premises protection, we have dog and handlers teams available to provide a canine patrol service nationwide.
We are proud to be an associate company member of the National Association of Security Dog Users (NASDU).
NASDU promotes high standards, excellent training and ongoing education in the private security dog sector. We abide by the guidance & recommendations contained within British Standard 8517-1 for General Purpose Dogs & BS8517-2 for Detection Dogs. All our handlers are NASDU certified.
This British Standard sets the standard for screening security personnel working in an environment where safety of people, goods or property is essential.
It includes data security, sensitive and service contracts and confidential records.
Our dog handlers hold Security Industry Authority (SIA) licences.
The SIA is a statutory organisation that is responsible for regulating the private security industry in the UK.
All our handlers have undergone a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which searches for criminal records and activity.
As we regularly provide services to the education and healthcare sectors, the enhanced check shows that our handlers are suitable to work with children and vulnerable adults.
We were very impressed with the day. The handler delivered well-pitched assemblies which were fun but with an underlying serious message which the students enjoyed. He also had a professional manner and approach with the searches. We would definitely book again in the future.
We were extremely happy with the recent K9 visit and how smoothly it went. The information you had provided beforehand was invaluable in helping us to plan for the visit. It was a pleasure to meet both the handler and his dogs and it is safe to say they were a huge hit with our staff! The handler was very friendly and professional at all times and he provided lots of helpful advice at possible hiding places around the school site and steps we can take to keep out site safe. The visit went very smoothly
and we have had positive feedback from parents and students about the experience. We will most definitely be booking further visits.
The handler and his dog were phenomenal. Both were thorough and even managed to retrieve some contraband! We would love them to return later in the year if that’s possible?
What a day!!! The handler was just fantastic!!! We found quite a bit of cannabis outside the school grounds in an area we had suspicions about, and also found a student carrying drugs onto the premises. The handler was brilliant in assembly and the PSHE lesson, demonstrating how the dog found the drugs – there were lots of questions!! The dog was fab with the students and got lots of positive attention and
petting throughout the day. Absolutely brilliant!!!
We were really happy with the visit – the handler was very professional when dealing with the students and always made sure they felt comfortable and safe. The dogs were fantastic too of course!
This was the best visit we have had from K9 out of the 4 we have had. The handler was thorough, worked fast but still picked up a lot of potential issues. He explained to us a lot of things about how drug users and dealers operate which was excellent for us to know and understand. His manner with staff and students was spot on. Thanks very much.
