Detection support shaped around the event.

Explosive detection K9 support begins with a defined search requirement. We coordinate with the organizer, venue and specialist provider to identify the areas involved, the available search window and the way the canine team will connect with the wider event security plan.

Assignments may involve designated venue areas, arrival zones or other locations agreed with the provider. Access, pedestrian activity, site conditions and the event schedule all affect how the work is organized. The scope sets out the search areas, reporting contacts and procedures for escalating a concern.

An established canine operating history.

Simon Protection Group operated an in-house explosive-detection canine section from 2019 to 2025. Canine assignments transitioned to external service providers in 2025. Simon Event Services carries that experience into provider coordination and event planning. Read our operating history.

We review the requirement and discuss provider availability before confirming the assignment. Canine support is one element of a broader security plan, with responsibilities agreed among the organizer, venue and participating providers.
