Canine Security

Canine Security Overview

G4S canines provide a highly visible, cost-effective method to screen people, locations or vehicles at scale, providing early detection of intruders, explosive, drugs or flares.

Canine support is ideal for checking a venue, screening people (or vehicles) as they enter an event, or securing a perimeter.
