Who we are
A security contractor you can check up on
AK K9 Security Services Ltd provides manned guarding and specialist dog units across London, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. We work for construction firms, property managers, landlords with vacant stock, warehouse and industrial operators, and event organisers, anyone who needs a site kept secure outside the hours their own people are there.
The security industry has a credibility problem, and most of it comes down to things clients cannot verify. So we lead with what can be checked. Every officer holds a current SIA licence you can look up by number. Our dog handlers are trained and assessed against NASDU standards. Our K9 deployments follow BS 8517 and the Guard Dogs Act 1975, which means a handler is present and in control whenever a dog is on your site, no exceptions, because that is the law and because it is how animals and people stay safe.
We are deliberately not the cheapest quote you will get. Rates that undercut the market usually mean unvetted staff, single-crewed dog units, or officers working shifts long enough that alertness stops being realistic. What you get from us instead is a survey before we quote, a written schedule of what is covered and when, and reporting you can actually hand to a client or an insurer.

Why clients stay
Six things we do that cheaper contractors do not
We survey before we quote
Cost depends on the perimeter, the access points, the hours that genuinely need covering and the risk at the site. We look at all of that first, then price it. A number given over the phone before anyone has seen the property is a guess.
Licensing you can verify
SIA licence numbers for every officer assigned to your site, provided on request. If a contractor will not give you those, that tells you something.
Dog units run to the standard
NASDU-assessed handlers, BS 8517 deployment, Guard Dogs Act compliance, and welfare taken seriously: vehicle temperature, rest, water and working hours all managed. A dog that is not looked after is not an effective deterrent either.
Reporting that is worth reading
Patrol logs, incident reports and access records written to be handed onward: to your insurer, your client, or the police if it comes to that. Not a signature on a sheet.
One point of contact
You get a number that reaches someone who knows your site, not a national call centre reading from a script.
24/7 response
Alarm activations, emergency cover and short-notice deployment across all four counties, including nights, weekends and bank holidays.
