How a Dog Means Double Security
If your event or business routinely hires security guards to patrol and secure the premises, it may be worth considering a security dog handler as part of your security team. Why? You’re effectively getting double security.
As most security agencies would tell you, employing a security dog handler is always a little more expensive than a standalone guard, but you get more for your money. Dogs have an acute sense of hearing, and will hear an intruder far before their human handler does, enabling them to lead your security to where there might be trouble, before the potential intruder has got very close.
In addition, we all know that security-trained dogs have a finely tuned sense of smell. We’ve all seen sniffer dogs at airports, on the street or being used to literally sniff out trouble at an event. If you’re an event organiser and you want to deter anyone from using illegal substances on your grounds, your event security should include a dog – otherwise your chances of catching someone only rests on your security team seeing the drugs out in the open or being used, which is far more difficult.
Even if it’s just to guard your business premises, dogs are well worth the extra cost. Think like a thief – if you had the choice of targeting a building with a dog, and one without, which one would you go for? Never the one with the dog – because double security means double the chance to apprehend trouble and keep your business secure.
