K9 units

Dogs and their trained handlers, deployed to detect explosives and narcotics and to defend perimeters. A dog team adds detection and deterrence that officers alone cannot: a dog searches a vehicle, a bag or a building quickly and thoroughly, and few intruders want to test a fence a dog is patrolling.

Where and when the teams work is planned with you from the site risk assessment: screening at an entry point, searching before an event, or patrolling a boundary at night.

What it includes

• Explosives detection at entry points, in vehicles and before events
• Narcotics detection where your site or your policies require it
• Perimeter patrols by a dog team, especially at night
• Trained handlers who control their dog at all times
• Deployment planned around your site, your hours and your risks

How it works

1. The site risk assessment shows where a dog team adds most.
2. We agree the task with you: detection, patrol or both, and the hours.
3. The team is briefed on the site and its procedures.
4. The team works alongside your officers and reports through Red Sky’s operations team.

Where it fits

• Logistics: vehicles and cargo searched at the gate
• Hospitality: searches before large functions and events
• Government: screening at public entrances
• Manufacturing and industry: long perimeters patrolled at night

Works well with

• Event security: the venue searched before guests arrive
• Manned guarding: officers at the gate with a dog team beside them
• Critical infrastructure: remote boundaries that need a strong deterrent
