Whether you are organising an indoor or outdoor music concert, a multi-day festival, or a large-scale fete in a public park, we have vast experience of working alongside event organisers and promoters nationwide to ensure everyone has a fun time.
We believe that prevention is better than cure, and sniffer dogs and canine patrols are a highly efficient deterrent for criminal activity.
Our detection dog and handler teams are often the first point of contact the general public will have when arriving at an entertainment venue. From drugs searches while visitors queue to enter, to canine security patrols offering protection from criminal behaviour, we have the resource and experience to ensure your event goes off without a hitch.
All our dog and handler teams are professional and courteous. They are National Association of Security Dog Users (NASDU) certified and hold Security Industry Authority (SIA) Door Supervisor licences. If you are planning an event, we would be happy to discuss your requirements and provide guidance.
Illegal drugs are often a catalyst for other criminal activity, such as violence, theft, and criminal damage. Our sniffer dogs can detect the drugs before they make it into your entertainment venue.
Working with our experienced handlers, our dogs can perform two types of searches. During a passive search, our dogs will be on the lead screening a crowd, which is ideal for searching people as they enter a venue or while queueing. A proactive search will see our drugs detection dogs searching open areas, which they can do off the lead when safe to do so.
Entertainment venues require robust security to ensure the protection of all visitors. Utilising canine patrol dogs for events where large crowds are expected is a successful crime prevention measure.
Our dogs are accustomed to crowds and have been intensively trained to not feel threatened during potentially dangerous situations. They give the public assurance that unwanted behaviour will be managed swiftly and professionally, providing peace of mind and allowing you to concentrate on making your event a success.
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 loved having the dog handler and her ‘team’ with us. She was brilliant and the dogs seemed to give a more-definitive indication that the others that we’d seen.
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.
The search was thorough; he was responsive to the needs of the environment and he was able to demonstrate how a dog would react when finding a substance.
The dog team were great yesterday, really good to work with both of them. The handler did 3 assemblies, the students were spellbound, it had a good balance between education and fun that will mean the students remember the serious part to the message. Lots of positive comments from students, some really thoughtful questions asked of the handler and again, it was friendly and informative. The only
problem was that most of the students wanted to keep the dog and we could do with having him in school everyday. Thanks a lot.
It was brilliant thanks the handler was fantastic with our students, as was her dog. We had great feedback from our staff and our students.
I wanted to write to say how successful our first experience of working with K9 has been today. Both the handler and dogs were delightful and made my job facilitating the visit so much easier. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
