K9 Units

Licensed handlers working with trained general purpose and detection dogs — covering ground faster than a foot patrol and searching in ways a person alone cannot.

01 — Service overview

K9 Units

A dog changes the arithmetic of a site. One handler and one dog can sweep a perimeter in the time it takes two officers to walk half of it, and the presence alone ends most situations before they begin — people who will argue with an officer rarely argue with a dog.

MavCo supplies K9 units with licensed handlers for construction sites, vacant property, events and night-time patrols. The handler holds the SIA licence the role requires; the dog is trained and health-checked, and the pairing works together rather than being assembled on the day.

02 — What we provide

What we provide

/01

General Purpose Patrol Dogs

Handler and dog patrolling open sites, perimeters and compounds where ground is wide and staffing is thin.

  • Perimeter and compound patrol
  • Open and industrial sites
  • Night patrol cover
  • Visible deterrence

/02

Detection & Search

Search work across vehicles, buildings and bags where a dog finds what a manual search would take hours to cover.

  • Vehicle and building searches
  • Pre-event venue sweeps
  • Bag and property search support
  • Search recording

/03

Vacant & High-Risk Property

Empty buildings and sites where intrusion is likely and a lone officer is exposed.

  • Vacant property patrol
  • Squatter deterrence
  • Derelict and part-demolished sites
  • Rapid clearance support

/04

Event & Crowd Support

K9 support at events, working alongside stewarding and licensed officers rather than separately.

  • Pre-event sweeps
  • Perimeter cover during show
  • Overnight build security
  • Handler liaison with control

/05

Handler Competence

The handler is the service. Licensed, briefed on your site, and accountable for the dog at all times.

  • SIA licensed handlers
  • Site-specific briefing
  • Dog under control at all times
  • Written patrol reports

/06

Welfare & Compliance

Dog welfare, transport and public safety handled properly, because getting it wrong is both cruel and a liability.

  • Dog welfare standards
  • Appropriate transport
  • Public safety protocols
  • Insurance in place

03 — Why MavCo

Why choose MavCo

/01

Covers Ground Nobody Else Can

One K9 unit patrols more perimeter per hour than two officers on foot, which is why it often costs less for the same coverage.

/02

Deterrence Before Confrontation

Most incidents end at the sight of the dog. The best patrol is the one where nothing happens.

/03

Licensed Handlers

Handlers hold the SIA licence their role requires and we verify it — we will not put an unlicensed handler on your site.

/04

Paired, Not Assembled

Handler and dog work as an established pairing rather than being matched up the morning of a shift.

/05

Fits The Rest Of The Plan

K9 sits alongside manned guarding, CCTV and patrols from the same group, briefed together.

/06

Honest About Suitability

A dog is not right for every site. Where a static officer or a camera would serve you better, we will say so.
