    Ask how the assignment will be accounted for

    A name on a rota shows who is expected to work. A recorded sign-in and sign-out provide different information about the assignment.

    Our Smartoo software supports both schedules and attendance records. That allows management to compare the planned hours with recorded starts and finishes, while written activity and incident records explain other parts of the shift.

    Understand what a location check tells you

    Smartoo includes a GPS-radius check-in capability. Its purpose is to check the device's location against the configured site boundary at check-in.

    That is not continuous tracking or proof that every patrol was completed. For patrol visibility, the useful information includes the handler's updates, photographs and reported observations. Our guarding service includes hourly patrol photographs alongside operational communication.

    Book the right specialist team

    Choose a general-purpose security dog handler for canine guarding and patrols. For drug detection, book a trained specialist handler and dog for the search requirement.

    We can coordinate either service with existing guards, or quote for supporting personnel where the entrance needs a separate staffed position. Clients receive submitted incidents by email and can access their history through the portal.

    A staffed shift with a defined patrol job

    Our security dog handlers provide cover for the times your premises needs a physical presence, from a single night to a regular schedule. We arrange the areas to be patrolled, access to the property and the operational contact before the shift. The handler checks the designated buildings, boundaries and entrances with the dog under control and reports relevant observations from the assignment.

    Hourly patrol photographs add context to the information coming back from site. They help distinguish a record of planned cover from updates about the work being reported. If a vehicle entrance or reception needs its own officer, we can supply that person alongside the canine team. You can then keep the fixed position attended while the handler carries out the patrol. Our quotation makes the roles and hours clear, and operations coordinates communication during the booking rather than leaving the client to manage the attending team alone.

    Book a detection team for a different task

    Drug detection dog hire provides a trained specialist handler and search dog for the requirement you arrange. The handler directs the dog, interprets its indications and communicates relevant information to your appointed representative. We can organise a workplace search, venue assignment or recurring visits, with the search period and areas identified in the booking.

    Attendance alone does not describe the search. A useful brief explains where the specialist team will work and how it fits with other activity at the premises. Our team helps organise those details after you make contact. If you also need overnight guarding, we can add a separate patrol service rather than presenting a search appointment as cover for the entire night. Each element remains visible in the proposal, allowing your manager or procurement team to compare the actual service and cost before confirming the arrangement.

    Read attendance, patrols and incidents together

    A rota tells you the planned assignment, while sign-in and sign-out records describe recorded attendance. Patrol updates add information about activity during that period. An incident report records a particular concern and the action reported. None of those records should have to carry the meaning of all the others.

    For a customer reviewing a service, that distinction is useful. You can ask about a specific period or observation rather than relying only on a broad assurance that someone was scheduled. Our client portal retains submitted incident history and shared documents, and incident emails provide a notification when the officer submits a report. Operations can use the relevant records when discussing the assignment with you. If you want recurring cover, start with the hours you need protected and we will explain the patrol duties, reporting route and quotation. You can also book temporary support without committing to a permanent schedule.

    Harold Wood coverage in RM3

We use the address and arranged duties to identify your assignment, whether you are booking guarding, detection or both.

    Training, licensing and insurance

    Fast K9 Security Limited holds ISO 9001 certification, SafeContractor approval and Constructionline Gold membership. Public liability insurance is in place. Relevant security personnel hold valid SIA licences, our general-purpose security dog handlers hold NASDU Level 2 handler training, and drug detection assignments use trained specialist handlers.

    These credentials sit alongside the practical service you receive: personnel carrying out defined duties, operations coordinating the assignment and reports that keep you informed. Our team can discuss the relevant supporting information with your procurement or facilities representative.

    Clear prices before you book

    Selected planned, recurring security dog-handler assignments start from £16.50 + VAT per hour. This starting rate does not apply automatically to every booking. Your quotation identifies the service, hours, applicable rate and any additional charges.

    Single shifts, temporary projects, urgent requirements, nights, weekends and bank holidays can all be quoted. Drug detection dog hire is priced separately for the search assignment. If you want guarding and detection together, we explain both elements in the proposal.

    Start with a short enquiry

    Questions about scheduled cover

    Can you work different hours at weekends?

    Yes. A recurring arrangement can identify different weekday and weekend shifts to match the cover required.

    Does a GPS check-in prove every patrol was completed?

    A check-in concerns the recorded arrival location. Patrol updates and observations describe the patrol activity separately.

    Can a gate officer be included with the dog handler?

    Yes. We can quote for a separate fixed officer so the handler can continue patrolling.

    Can detection be purchased for one visit?

    Yes. Individual specialist searches are available alongside recurring programmes and separate guarding bookings.
