Canine Security Units
NASDU-aligned handlers and general-purpose patrol dogs for high-risk patrol, search and vacant-site cover, deployed alongside the wider AOG security operation.
Enhanced deterrent. Reduced risk.
Canine units, run inside the AOG operating model.
Canine units sits inside the same AOG account as cleaning, FM and construction support. One project manager owns the contract. One control room holds the keys, the schedules and the camera feeds. One weekly report covers every officer hour, patrol and incident.
You take the service on its own, or alongside the rest of the security division. The covenant, the compliance ledger and the point of contact stay the same either way.
Handler-and-dog teams for high-risk static patrol, mobile patrols and event support. All handlers NASDU-aligned, all dogs welfare-audited and training-recorded. Deployed as a standalone service or woven into the wider AOG security operation.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What is a canine security unit used for?
Handler-and-dog teams are used where a visible deterrent materially changes the risk profile of a site: high-risk static or mobile patrol, event and surge support, and deterrent cover on vacant or high-loss sites. They can be deployed standalone or woven into the wider AOG security operation.
Are your handlers and dogs accredited?
All handlers are NASDU-aligned, and training, veterinary and welfare records are held per dog. Compliance is documented before any deployment, which is checked as part of procurement due diligence on higher-risk contracts.
Can canine units be combined with static guarding or patrols?
Yes. Canine cover is commonly wired into the wider AOG patrol schedule and can run alongside static guarding, so the deterrent effect is part of a layered security model rather than a standalone measure.
Can canine cover be arranged for a single event rather than a long-term contract?
Yes. Short-term deployments are available for events, demonstrations and high-risk periods without a long-term commitment, alongside longer-term static or mobile patrol contracts.
How is the welfare of the dogs managed?
Each dog has a welfare and training record maintained by AOG, satisfying insurer and procurement audit requirements. Deployment decisions take dog welfare into account alongside the operational requirement.
