With the relentless growth in crimes against property and person, the practice of using guard dogs in everyday conditions and situations is becoming increasingly popular. Here at ATM Online Security Services, our dogs have become a regular feature at venues around the Gold Coast and Brisbane. In many locations or under certain conditions, canines not only provide a superior solution but are also more cost effective than most traditional measures.
For example, a typical outdoor compound housing a hundred or more vehicles can be more effectively and economically controlled by a single man and dog team rather than two or three static guards. With superior speed, agility, hearing, sight and sense of smell, dogs are better suited than humans to certain areas of security and they perform amazingly well in dim, poorly lit areas.
A properly trained dog does not maul suspects. The dog is part of a team with its handler and working together, they become an effective means of deterring, locating and apprehending criminals and thereby preventing crime against property or person.
Proper training ensures our dog handlers have the correct attitude and professionalism to always conduct themselves and their canine partner in a law-abiding and publicly acceptable manner.
Before being trained, all of our dogs are tested for stability, courage, obedience, tactical obedience, agility, handler protection, area and building searches and offender apprehension.
KEY OBJECTIVES OF GUARD AND DOG PATROLS ARE:
- To act as a deterrent to unlawful entry.
- To detect and apprehend offenders.
- To prevent crime in the protected area.
- To provide reassurance to the law-abiding public and to foster good public relations on behalf of the client.
