A dog handler with a trained dog resolves situations where a security guard alone may be ineffective — the deterrent and vigilance a site with restricted line-of-sight needs.
Guard dogs are trained to pick up on intruders by scent, sight or sound, and to protect their handler by standing their ground and showing controlled aggression. When confronted with threatening behaviour they can detain a suspect until the authorities arrive.
Where dog units help
- · Restricted line-of-sight sites — large construction projects, warehouses, transport yards
- · Areas too dangerous for security guards alone
- · Protection of persons, property and people under threat
