Security - K9

The Security - K9 Safe Operating Procedure (SOP) guides businesses in implementing safe practices when using K9 units for security tasks. It sets out steps for effective and secure operations involving dogs, focusing on safety and efficiency.

It covers the hazards (site hazards, personal attack and dog attack), precautions, handler training, the pre-operational inspection, patrol operation from arrival at the site to end of shift, dog management on patrol, managing aggressive or violent behaviour and emergency response.

An employee training and induction register tracks workplace induction, task training, licences and refresher training so every handler is prepared.
