Pros of Using Security Patrol Dogs

July 18, 2013

What are the true benefits of investing in security patrol dogs? The possibilities are almost endless, as well as life saving. Hallmark Security Ltd offers not only the guard dogs but qualified handlers too, rather than dangerously sub-contracting them to an untrained individual. Here we explain the numerous pros of using our security patrol dogs.

When compared to a human security guard, a security patrol dog’s hearing and smelling senses are second to none. The dogs are thoroughly trained in obedience, agility and protection. All of our dogs are National Association of Security Dog Users (NASDU) accredited and all handlers undergo continuous training sessions. All of our dogs are teamed with the one handler, meaning a strong bond is created. We only use recognised guard dog breeds such as German Shepherds, Belgian Shepherds and Rottweiler’s.

Since dogs have naturally impeccable senses, they are ideal for patrolling industrial sites were metal theft is rife, construction areas, warehouses, theme parks and other areas were high visibility is required. Using a security patrol dog is perfect for areas that are too dangerous for a single security guard to work on. This includes underground parking lots and locations where there is gang violence.

Compared to security cameras, human guards and alarm systems, security patrol dogs are psychologically off-putting to criminals. The high risk of injury will instil fear into potential trespassers and burglars. Hallmark Security patrol dogs are trained to show controlled aggression. They have the remarkable ability to protect the handler and the land or property, ensuring the intruder is only harmed if the handler is under threat.

Our current clients include chemical factories, hospitals, utility companies, garden centres, special events, motorway service stations and waste/metal recycling sites. We also provide our services to various SIA Approved Contractors via a sub-contract basis. We also provide passive drug detection and proactive drug detection dogs.
