Benefits of hiring a K9 units

K-9 units are one of the most significant components of law enforcement organizations. A security guard and a guard dog make up a canine unit working in tandem throughout their shift. Dog units patrol the entire site multiple times during their shift because they are always on the move even in the dark. They make a high-security presence as the dog’s senses are so acute. These groups are not assembled at random. The dog and its handler have trained together, going through their NASDU (National Association of Security Dog Users) training and being tested as a team. According to the survey, it’s mentioned that there are more than 350 working dogs in the Police K-9 Unit, playing significant roles in various Police operations through their unique capabilities in detecting illicit substances, explosives detection, public order maintenance, and maintaining public order.

K9 Security FAQs

What is K9 Security used for?

Utilising K9 security is a highly effective deterrent to guard against intruders, keep crowds under control, or detain aggressive offenders. Security dogs are paired with a trained handler and together they form a formidable security presence. It is estimated that K9 security dogs are 5 times more effective than a lone security guard. At County UK we provide NASDU qualified K9 Security Dog Handler teams who are able to work at a range of premises and events. This offers an effective visual deterrent, as many offenders are put off simply by the sight of a K9 security dog and their handler.

Is K9 Security Services more expensive than just hiring security guards?

Ultimately, if your event/organisation requires K9 security it will work out more cost-effective to hire dog handlers than just security guards alone. Although the initial hourly cost of a dog handler is greater than just a security guard, K9 security helps to deter criminals which in itself reduces the amount of work required. Think of the insurance excess, loss of contracts through deadlines and targets failing to be met, and the boosted staff and client morale of having the calming presence of K9 security. It is also worth bearing in mind that a security dog and their handler will arrive with their own specially designed transport, thus making them more mobile.

Will the security dogs bite any of our staff?

No. All of our K9 security dogs and handlers are professionally trained by our in-house training staff who have proven experience in this type of work. Further, our dogs are all assessed and must meet our stringent character tests before we permit them to go through training or to any jobs. Only those dogs good enough will be passed as competent.
