Our Search & Detection Dogs in London support a wide range of clients. All our Search Dog teams hold valid in date Team Certificates for both dog and handler. Our Search Dogs London are deployed in line with BS8517-2 standards.
Our Detection Dogs are usually deployed to Events, Stadiums and Arenas. We are not restricted to the Event Industry. We also support Shopping Centres, Retail Units, Product Launches, NHS, Education (Schools & Colleges), Construction, Housing Associations, Student Accommodation & Logistical Hubs.
As a business we also have capability to supply independent NCTAS-P Accredited Dog teams to clients who require them.
Our detection dog teams are accredited by NASDU for the provision of the chosen task and all hold valid Team Certificates, along with in-depth training records to ensure that the Handler & Dog (Team) can deploy effectively to your project. Our Detection teams are available to support your requirements on an Ad-Hoc requirement or Full-time deployment.
All deployments come with a full set of RAMS and a clear understanding of the task & requirements.
The Manchett Security Director has been supporting Search & Detection Dogs in London for many years overseeing small- and large-scale deployments. With the ever-changing situation in the world and society utilising Search & Detection Dogs is paramount to strengthening your security.
Our Detection Dog Services London Include:
Manchett Security’s Search & Detection Dogs are trained for a single detection task each, rather than one dog being expected to find everything. Every handler and dog pair holds a valid Team Certificate and works to BS8517-2 standards.
Search & Detection Dogs in London get deployed on an Ad-Hoc basis for a single event or as a Full-time presence at a venue, with every deployment backed by a full RAMS document and NASDU-accredited handlers who already know the site.
NCTAS-P sits alongside NASDU accreditation as a further layer of certification for detection teams working higher-profile or higher-risk deployments. Not every job needs it, but venues handling large crowds or sensitive sites often ask for it specifically, particularly where a counter-terrorism plan already sits behind the wider security operation.
Manchett Security can supply NCTAS-P accredited teams as an additional certification layer for higher-risk deployments, used alongside standard NASDU accreditation where a venue’s own risk assessment calls for it.
A handler and dog don’t get certified separately. The Team Certificate covers both together, because a dog’s detection ability only matters if the handler can read what it’s telling them in the moment.
Training records get kept in depth, not just a pass certificate filed away. Manchett Security can produce that history on request, which matters when a client’s own compliance team wants to check before signing off a booking.
A pre-event sweep of a stadium looks nothing like an ongoing patrol at a logistics hub. One is a single intensive check before doors open. The other is a dog team working the same site day after day, picking up on patterns a one-off sweep would miss.
Retail units and shopping centres tend to need the same detection capability on a much smaller footprint, usually a single team covering entrances and stockrooms rather than an entire venue.
Construction sites and logistics hubs sit somewhere in between the two. The risk isn’t a single event crowd, but it isn’t a retail footfall problem either, so teams often work a rotating schedule rather than a one-off sweep or a fixed daily patrol.
In practice the terms overlap. What actually varies is the specialism – one team might be trained specifically for explosives, another for cash and firearms, so the right team gets matched to the job.
Both. Manchett Security arranges Search & Detection Dogs on an Ad-Hoc basis for one-off events or as a Full-time deployment for venues that need ongoing coverage, with the same accreditation standards applying either way.
It’s an additional certification layer for detection teams working higher-risk deployments, used alongside standard NASDU accreditation where a venue’s own risk assessment calls for it.
Regularly. Manchett Security’s teams cover stadiums, arenas and product launches across London, alongside retail, education and logistics sites, scaling the team size to whatever that specific booking actually needs.
Yes. Every Team Certificate covers the dog and handler together, and Manchett Security keeps in-depth training records to back that up on request.
