K9 Dog Security
Trusted, SIA-licensed security officers providing on-site protection, access control, deterrence, and rapid response for high-risk, high-value, and operationally complex sites across the UK.
Professional Manned Guarding for High-Risk, Complex UK Sites
Some environments simply require trained, experienced security personnel physically present on the ground. Our Manned Guarding Security service provides uniformed, SIA-licensed officers who deliver visible deterrence, manage access control, support staff, protect assets, and respond to threats the moment they arise.
Whether your site is a construction project, warehouse, industrial estate, retail centre, office building, mixed-use development, or vacant property, our guards operate with structure, discipline and accountability. Every deployment begins with a thorough site assessment, allowing us to understand your layout, risk profile, and operational pressures. From there, we tailor duties, coverage, and reporting around what your site actually needs, not just a generic guarding package.
Our goal is straightforward: reduce incidents, improve safety, coordinate with your existing security systems and give you confidence that your site is protected day and night.
How Our Guards Operate Onsite
Effective manned guarding depends on precision, planning and presence. Our officers follow a structured, transparent workflow that blends proactive patrols with responsive decision-making, backed by real-time communication and ongoing supervision. Here’s how we deploy guards on your site:
Step-by-Step Process
Comprehensive Guarding Built Around Your Environment
Every site has different requirements. Some need a guard stationed at the gatehouse around the clock. Others need roaming night patrols, visitor management during busy periods, or support for CCTV monitoring and alarms. Our service is designed to flex with your operational needs, providing both stable routine and fast escalation when circumstances change.
- Static & Patrol Guarding
Fixed posts or mobile patrols to cover high-risk areas and vulnerable perimeters.
- Gatehouse Management
Managing entry, controlling access, logging vehicles and supporting reception operations.
- Overnight & 24/7 Coverage
Continuous on-site presence when buildings are empty, isolated or at heightened risk.
- Keyholding & Alarm Response
Trained guards respond first to alarms, investigate triggers and secure the site quickly.

Guarding That Works with CCTV, Alarms & K9 Units
Our manned guarding integrates seamlessly with your existing security framework. Guards can respond to CCTV alerts, investigate alarms, support access control and coordinate with K9 units for high-risk areas. This creates a multi-layered system that intruders find difficult to challenge and one that gives you far more operational intelligence than any standalone system.
