Security Dog Handlers

Riverside Security Services provides highly trained Security Dog Handlers to deliver an effective visual deterrent and rapid threat detection across the UK. Our handlers and dogs operate to NASDU standards, and we are an SIA Approved Contractor holding ISO 9001 and 14001 certifications.

Our dog handlers comply with the Dogs Act 1975, are fully insured, and are deployed alongside our Security Officers or Emergency Services to contain, defuse, and manage incidents safely.
