Master
K-9 was the innovator for hospital security canine teams.
We
have been involved with
hospital security K-9 teams for seventeen years.
We carefully select these
dogs to ensure they have the proper temperament for the hospital environment,
and yet still have the drive
to be an effective tool
when needed.
We have a unique approach
at Master K-9 where we totally integrate
the hospital teams with
the law enforcement teams. We require our hospital teams to pass
the 5 week, Patrol Dog 1 class, and hold them to
all the same standards as
a law enforcement team. We strongly recommend the teams complete
the yearly three day POST K-9 handler
update class, and get on
a structured maintenance training program.
Our Hospital Security K-9
teams have proven reliable in the following
four areas:
A) Patient Therapy
B) Making the staff
feel more secure, arriving and departing
the facility in times of
darkness.
C) Psychological Deterrent,
to potential problem makers.
D) Help security officers
in effecting an arrest.

you would like references from some of our hospital teams or administrators,
