Core K9 Security Services
General Purpose Security Dog Handling (GP)
A General Purpose (GP) K9 Handler provides a highly visible and effective security presence, working alongside a trained dog to deter, detect, and respond to potential threats. In the UK, GP dog teams are commonly used to protect people, property, infrastructure, and high-risk environments where a standard security presence alone may not be sufficient.
GP handlers and their dogs are trained to patrol large areas, identify suspicious activity, track intruders, search buildings or open land, and support incident response. Their presence acts as a strong deterrent to trespass, theft, vandalism, and anti-social behaviour, while also providing reassurance to clients and the public.
Services
Construction Site Security
Construction Sites – GP K9 handlers provide a strong visual deterrent against theft, trespass, vandalism, and unauthorised access, particularly on large or remote sites where materials, machinery, and fuel are vulnerable outside working hours.
Vacant Properties
Empty buildings are often targeted by squatters, arsonists, vandals, and metal thieves. A GP dog team can patrol large areas quickly and respond to signs of intrusion before damage occurs.
Warehouses and Distribution Centres
Large storage facilities can be difficult to secure using static guarding alone. A GP K9 team can patrol internal and external areas efficiently and act as a deterrent to theft and organised criminal activity.
Detection Dog Services (DD/EDD/Pyro)
Detection dogs provide a fast, reliable, and highly effective method of identifying illegal substances, weapons, explosives, cash, and other prohibited items that may otherwise go undetected. In the UK, they are increasingly used to improve safety, reduce risk, protect property, and support legal compliance across a wide range of sectors. A trained detection dog and handler can search people, vehicles, buildings, and large areas quickly and accurately, making them an essential security solution where there is a need to deter criminal activity and maintain a safe environment.
Services
Schools and Colleges

Universities and Student Accommodation
Student residences and campus buildings can benefit from detection dogs to identify drugs, weapons, or other prohibited items where there are concerns around safety or anti-social behaviour.
Transport Hubs
Airports, rail stations, bus depots, ports, and other transport facilities commonly use detection dogs to identify drugs, explosives, weapons, cash, or contraband and to protect public safety.
