    Make the attendance period useful to your operation

    A venue can have several distinct periods in one day: preparation, access for personnel, the main activity and the work after it finishes. The security service should have a clear purpose within that timetable. Our dog handlers provide patrol cover for the spaces and hours included in the assignment, working with the dog under control.

    We can arrange temporary cover or a repeating requirement, including evenings and overnight work. If different people manage the premises at different stages, we help organise the contact for the attending team. The booking explains the role being supplied so you can see how it fits alongside your own staff. You can request cover for the whole required period or discuss an individual stage without purchasing unrelated services.

    Drug detection planned as a specialist visit

    Our trained detection handlers provide a search service for venues and workplaces. A useful booking identifies the period when the designated areas can be accessed and the representative who will receive the handler's communication. That allows the specialist team to concentrate on the agreed detection task when it attends.

    The handler directs the dog through the search and communicates relevant indications through the organised route. A single visit or recurring attendance can be discussed, depending on your requirement. Detection is distinct from general canine guarding: the search service does not automatically include a continuing patrol after completion. If you need both, we show both in the proposal. Your management team retains its responsibilities for the premises and its own procedures throughout the specialist attendance.

    Avoid competing instructions at the entrance

    When reception staff, contractors and event personnel all use an entrance, the security team needs an understandable access arrangement. We coordinate the canine assignment with the nominated representative and can work alongside your existing personnel. If a separate fixed guarding role is required, that can be included as its own service.

    The aim is to keep duties practical. A handler carrying out a moving patrol cannot remain at a desk at the same moment, and a specialist search team should not be assumed to have taken over every venue task. We explain those responsibilities before attendance. An expected visitor or equipment movement can then be dealt with through the correct contact, rather than leaving the attending team to reconcile different instructions from several people.

    Keep the report available after the activity ends

    The person running a venue during one period may hand over to another representative afterwards. Our incident reporting supports that transition: officers submit reports through the working system, with a client email sent on submission. Customers can return to incident history and shared documents through the client portal.

    For patrol assignments, hourly photographs give supporting context to updates. Operations coordinates communication with the attending personnel, helping questions reach the appropriate client contact. A useful handover distinguishes what has been reported from any action your own team still needs to take. The records support that discussion without relying solely on somebody remembering a telephone conversation after a busy shift. Keep contact changes current so the correct representative receives the information during the booked work.

    Compare the complete attendance, not an isolated rate

    When reviewing a quotation, check the service, attendance period and duties included. A search visit, a canine patrol and a fixed security position have different purposes. We can explain the proposed combination and charging basis so your organisation can approve the actual work being commissioned.

    If your timetable changes, contact our team to organise the revised requirement. The agreed booking remains the reference for the attending personnel, rather than an informal assumption that a later finish is already included. Start the enquiry with the venue location, service and intended dates. We can help develop the practical detail during the discussion, allowing you to arrange professional support without writing a complete security specification before the first conversation.

    Aldwych postcode coverage

    We serve Aldwych premises in WC2B and welcome enquiries from surrounding central London addresses. Postal coverage and venue names can extend across neighbouring streets, so the full attendance address is used for the booking. This is a service area reference, not a claim of a local Fast K9 Security Limited office.

    Training, licensing and insurance

    Fast K9 Security Limited holds ISO 9001 certification, SafeContractor approval and Constructionline Gold membership. Public liability insurance is in place. Relevant security personnel hold valid SIA licences, our general-purpose security dog handlers hold NASDU Level 2 handler training, and drug detection assignments use trained specialist handlers.

    These credentials sit alongside the practical service you receive: personnel carrying out defined duties, operations coordinating the assignment and reports that keep you informed. Our team can discuss the relevant supporting information with your procurement or facilities representative.

    Single shifts, temporary projects, urgent requirements, nights, weekends and bank holidays can all be quoted. Drug detection dog hire is priced separately for the search assignment. If you want guarding and detection together, we explain both elements in the proposal.

    Questions about timed assignments

    Can a detection visit fit around our venue timetable?

    Yes. We can organise the proposed attendance and search access with your representative, with the agreed period recorded in the booking.

    Can we book patrol cover after the main activity finishes?

    Yes. Evening or overnight canine cover can be arranged for the hours and areas you require, independently of any detection visit.

    Will your team replace our existing venue staff?

    Only the services included in the proposal are supplied. We can coordinate specialist work alongside your existing staff and identify any additional guarding role separately.

    Can a later duty manager review submitted incidents?

    Yes. Client incident history and shared documents are available through the portal, and incident submission generates a client email notification.
