What we stop

The problems we solve after dark

The problemWhat our dog team does

Plant and machinery

Excavators, dumpers, generators and vehicles taken overnight.

Machines checked on every patrol, and the dog picks up anyone around them.

Fuel

Diesel siphoned from tanks, bowsers and machines.

Tanks, bowsers and parked vehicles checked at unpredictable times.

Cable and metal

Copper, lead and cable stripped from sites and buildings.

Buildings and stores checked for signs of entry and stripping.

Tools and materials

Stock, tools and deliveries lifted from yards and cabins.

Containers, cabins and stores are on the check point list.

Trespass and squatting

Unauthorised access to empty buildings, compounds and land.

The dog alerts to people inside buildings and compounds.

Vandalism and arson

Damage and fires that stop work and put people at risk.

A visible dog team makes the site a poor target.

Shift by shift

A night with Merlin K9

From lock-up to opening, this is how a typical shift runs on your site.

  1. Lock-up

    Handover from your team

    The handler and dog arrive before your team leaves, sign in and take any updates about the site.

  2. Early evening

    First full patrol

    A full walk of the boundary, gates and buildings to confirm the site is secure at the start of the shift.

  3. Through the night

    Varied patrols

    Further patrols at times nobody can predict, with the dog working the wind along fence lines and around buildings.

  4. If anything is found

    Act on the plan

    The handler follows the escalation plan agreed with you: who to call, when to call the police and how to record it.

  5. Morning

    Handover and report

    A final check, a handover to the first person on site, and a written report of the night.
