K-9 Security Services
Trained dog and handler teams for patrol and detection
Magnetic's dogs are bred and trained at its own dog section under the care of trained staff. The range of breeds includes Boerboel, Rottweiler, Malinois, German Shepherd and Labrador. Handlers are recruited from Kenya's law-enforcement, military and counter-terrorism backgrounds.
Typical security challenges
- Large perimeters hard to cover on foot
- Venues needing screening for explosives or narcotics
- Night-time premises with few staff
- Need for a visible deterrent
Our proposed approach
We assess whether a dog team suits the site and task, match patrol or detection dogs to the requirement, and deploy with a trained handler under agreed procedures.
