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 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.
The visit was a great success. Please thank the handler and his dogs. Our Year 12s in Sixth Form especially loved your dog. Thank you so much for organising it for us and for visiting.
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.
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.
The visit went very well. The assembly was very informative and the students engaged really well. Lots of talk about the dog around school too, with the tour of the site. Please pass on my thanks again to the handler and his dog. We will look at doing a follow up visit later in the year and I’ll get back to you with some possible dates.
Thanks again for your services last week. Yet again the dog handler was professional and supportive of our students. His dog was brilliant with the students and was also professional in his role. Thank you for supporting our Academies and enabling us to feel secure in the knowledge we are safeguarding our students and highlighting the Academy’s policies on a no drugs environment.
