Ensure comprehensive protection with expert canine security and dog handlers from Churchill Support Services.
With canine teams from Churchill Support Services, you’re receiving one of the ultimate forms of securing your premises. Coupling seamlessly with other, more traditional measures of security like CCTV cameras, gatehouses and mobile officers, you’re employing one of the most effective deterrents against trespassers and criminals.
Our security dogs are specifically trained to offer that additional layer of safety your site needs, and provide unwavering support to our officers as they carry out their duties. Every member of our canine teams is fully accredited by NASDU and licensed by the SIA, as well as having undergone a comprehensive screening and vetting process.
Our canine operatives and their handlers offer complete patrolling of your site’s perimeter, providing both an exceptionally effective deterrent and offering superb four-legged support to our expertly trained officers. That’s especially important in the event of an intrusion, where our canines can lock onto an trespasser’s scent, and quickly and effectively locate any hidden intruders or troublemakers.
In the event of an incident, our security dogs are trained to detect intruders, supporting our security officers on the ground and protecting officers from physical altercation through vital self-defence measures. With support from our superbly trained dog teams and SIA-licensed security officers, you can rest safe in the knowledge that your site is secured to an exceptionally high standard.
Our professional canine teams here at Churchill Support Services also extends to search dogs, who are specially trained to protect your premises, event or site. We’re able to provide dogs who encompass:
With their heightened senses professionally trained to hone in on certain scents, our security dogs can be used to detect illegal and dangerous substances, especially in large crowds such as football matches, festivals or at airports. They can also be used to detect hidden substances in smaller areas such as cars or buildings.
Our officers are trained to the highest possible standards in the latest dog handling strategies and techniques. They’ve all been qualified to at least Level 2 by NASDU (The National Association of Security Dog Users) standards, the UK’s leading regulatory body for canine handlers.
Alongside that, all of our officers are fully SIA-licensed, and undergo a comprehensive screening and vetting process to ensure complete compliance with the standards set out by NASDU. All of our canine operatives are paid fairly to ensure full job satisfaction, and see regular updates to their training, as well as assessments to ensure the ongoing quality of the service they deliver.
Our solutions are tailored to your specific premises and security requirements, guaranteeing that you’ll receive a personalised, first-rate service each and every time.
Churchill Support Services are in the top 1% of ACS-Approved Contractors and are SafeContractor approved. Additionally, all our officers are highly trained and licensed by the SIA.
A rapid response is vital to protecting your site. With our average response time of 30 minutes across the UK, our officers will attend quickly to resolve any potential or genuine threats.
Whether you require static guarding, mobile patrols, CCTV, Keyholding or security for an event, Churchill Support Services offers the right security solution for you and your premises.
The presence of security guards provides an effective visual deterrent, turning away potential criminals and shielding your property from vandalism, theft, and other crime.
With our security guards able to adapt and fulfil multiple roles such as concierge duties and conducting risk assessments, you can keep costs down without compromising on vital services.
With heightened senses, faster running speeds on average, and a fearsome presence across premises of all types, canines act as an ideal accompaniment to your more traditional on-site security officer presence, particularly when it comes to detecting and apprehending criminals. That’s especially true of sniffer dogs, with studies finding that a dog’s sense of smell is more than 10,000 times as powerful as a human’s.
Their powers of deterrence don’t stop there, either. The latest research has highlighted just how effective a dog can be in a security scenario, with over 65% of criminals being unlikely to commit an offence at a property or site where there’s a clear presence of security guards and their canine companions.
With extensive levels of experience and training, dog handlers act as one of the most robust and powerful measures of security for a range of different premises. In a similar vein to security officers, they adhere to extremely rigid standards set out by NASDU, alongside those outlined by the Security Industry Authority (SIA).
Dog handlers also provide one of the most effective and comprehensive deterrents to criminals and trespassers. That’s especially true when our officers complete their patrols, offering a full and comprehensive service for larger and more complex premises.
Of course, while dog handlers would be ideal for any kind of security detail, there’s certain premises and sites that could benefit more from our canine officers. These include:
All of our dog handling officers undergo extensive training, screening and vetting processes to ensure that we provide not only a service that we’re proud to put our name to, but that’s industry-leading. Each member of staff is accredited by NASDU and the SIA, ensuring comprehensive compliance with the rigours of our industry.
Each member of our dog handling teams undergoes extensive training, where both handler and the dog are independently assessed to ensure total reassurance of our services. The officers’ training processes last a minimum of 50 hours, and we’re able to provide both Level 1 Dog Handlers (ideal for patrols and deterrence) and Level 2 Dog Handlers (sniffer and search dogs).
At Churchill Support Services, we’re extremely proud to be a nationwide provider. This means that, wherever you’re based in the UK, we’re able to provide that same signature level of quality and professionalism, as well as training and accreditation that offer robust support to our canine handlers.

No specialised welfare facilities are needed for a dog handler that you wouldn’t ordinarily need for a security officer. While many assume that dogs may require specialist kit or more robust welfare, that’s not the case at all with Churchill – all of our dog handlers are self-contained with their vehicles, meaning you can save money on your welfare hire.
At Churchill, we focus on providing a completely custom-built, robust service for you and your site.
