At SAFECROWDS, our goal is to provide you with an integrated approach to identifying and mitigating terrorism risks, with joined-up counter terrorism services before and during your event.

Our K9 services provide trained dogs and experienced dog handlers to carry out sweeps of your venue, stadium or event location to search for IEDs (Improvised explosive devices) or flammable materials that could have been concealed on site.

We can also deploy K9 detection dogs and dog handlers at the entrance to your venue, stadium or event location during ingress to complement checks such as bag and body searches, which are carried out by our security teams as event goers arrive.

About our K9 detection dog services

  • All our dog handlers hold NCTAS P accreditation
  • All our teams comply fully with British standards and the five freedoms of animal welfare
  • Our dog and handler teams undergo regular and extensive continuation training
  • Our explosive dogs are trained in real scents, never with artificial odours

Why use K9 pyro and explosives detection dogs?

IEDs are a common terrorist tactic. Devices can be concealed in a building prior to an event, or carried into a building by an individual. K9 explosives detection dogs and pyro detection dogs are the most effective way to identify any potentially harmful devices.

Our pyro and explosives detection dog security services include:

  • Pre-event venue sweeps
  • Pyro and explosives and detection upon entry
  • Pyro detection and explosives detection throughout venues and locations over the course of the event

Our dogs are trained to locate any type of explosive device. Our dog handlers can operate as part of a multi-disciplined SAFECROWDS team, working closely with our security and stewarding teams to carry out pyro and explosives detection activity as effectively as possible, providing a subtle yet reassuring counter terrorism presence on site.

Animal welfare and the safety of the public are central to SAFECROWDS K9 services. Our dog handlers are very experienced and our dogs are well cared for, with the skills and behaviour required to work safely in close contact with the public.
