Did you know that a security dog team can effectively replace up to 3 static security officers?  Not only are they more of a deterrent, it’s cost effective too.

Dogs have an incredible sense of hearing and a powerful sense of smell. This enables them to detect disturbances from a long distance, and well before any person or high tech alarm system. Trained security patrol dogs are a valuable asset and ensure your security is not compromised.

Alarm systems have their place and are great at indicating a disturbance, but they cannot act upon it. Equally, camera systems record what is occurring, but this doesn’t help if criminals use a disguise.  Even a monitored system can experience a delayed response if you’re at the mercy of the police who have limited resources – plus, the crime has already taken place.

We can help you prevent crime in the first place.  Our trained and qualified security dog teams operate from high profile, marked vehicles which helps deter offenders – this alone reduces the risk of criminals targeting your property.

However, should the worst happen, and you are targeted by criminals, our security dogs have the ability and motivation to protect both the handler and your property. Our dogs are highly trained, so they can apprehend the criminals in a controlled and professional manner much quicker and more effectively than a security officer.

Each dog lives with their handler which creates a strong bond and encourages their natural instinct and desire to protect.  It also means that our dogs are well rounded, mentally stable and able to cope with a variety of situations.  Unlike other companies we DO NOT use multi-handled dogs from a central kennel.

If you take your security as seriously as we do, then get in touch with Security Dog handling Services to see how we can help.

CASE STUDY
What We Have Done

Case Study One: Private Resident’s Association

Case Study One: Private Resident’s Association

The residents of 5 private roads in a Greater London location were suffering from serious crimes against both themselves and their properties. This included violence and theft causing great distress and fear amongst a small, private community. The police were very supportive but as they could only react to the crimes after the event, the residents wanted to take preventive measures. They decided to form a resident’s association and pulled together to employ a permanent security presence.

The solution:

SDH (Security Dog Handling Services) advised and implemented the following security measures:

• Risk accessed the area

• Recommended the deployment of a security dog handler during the hours of darkness

• Set up a road block for entrance to the private roads using traffic cones and highly visible red LED lights

• Allowed residents quick entry with a vehicle pass, whilst recording all entries for non-residents with a valid reason to enter

• Provided residents with out of hours phone access to the dog handler for instant emergency reaction

• Constructed highly visible signs to advise that a security dog vehicle was patrolling the area

Conclusion:

The assignment has been ongoing for 8 years, and since it began Security Dog Handling Services have only had to deal with some minor incidents. A security dog handler was seen as a better form of deterrent than a security guard, because an offender may attack and injure a lone guard if disturbed . However, if a trained security dog is present as well, this is much less likely to happen, Also a trained dog has superior senses, such as hearing and smell to detect anyone hiding that a security guard would miss. It is a well-known fact that offenders will attack areas that show no signs of security, rather than those that do, so our deterrents were an important part of the plan. With close co-operation from the local Police we’re proud to say that SDH Services has succeeded in deterring any further, serious incidents. The area has been transformed and the residents are now living without fear.
