    Check calls and patrols are different

    A check call is a status confirmation. In Smartoo, it can be an in-app update with a written note; it does not have to be a telephone conversation.

    A patrol is the work carried out around the designated areas of the premises. Keeping those two things distinct helps a customer ask useful questions about the service: what was reported, which area was checked and what observation needs attention?

    Give the update some context

    Smartoo supports time-linked logbook notes and missed-check-call flags. Those features can help operations review submitted information and identify an expected update that has not been recorded.

    Our handlers also provide hourly patrol photographs during guarding assignments. The combination gives management more context than a status entry alone, while incidents receive their own report when a concern is recorded.

    Specialist searches with separate reporting

    For drug detection dog hire, our trained handler directs the search and communicates with your nominated contact. A detection assignment can sit alongside guarding without being described as the same service.

    Clients receive submitted incident reports by email and can revisit them through the portal. That gives the person managing the premises a place to review what was reported.

    Patrols that produce useful observations

    A client wants to know what the team is doing around the premises, not simply whether a status message was sent. Our canine guarding provides a handler and dog for the designated patrol areas, with hourly photographs and operational communication during the assignment. Relevant observations at buildings, access points and boundaries can then be recorded with enough context for management to understand them.

    We cover daytime, overnight and weekend requirements, including short bookings and continuing schedules. A separate security officer can remain at a gate or entrance while the handler moves around the premises. That division matters where arrivals continue after the main workforce has left: one role deals with the fixed position while the other provides the patrol presence. The quotation identifies the personnel and hours so you can see what is included, and our operations team remains the route for coordinating changes to the service.

    Drug detection organised around a clear search period

    Our specialist detection handlers and dogs can attend workplaces, venues and events for a defined search. The handler manages the dog's work, interprets relevant indications and communicates with your nominated representative. We help organise the areas and access arrangements so the search can take place alongside the customer's wider operation.

    When buying sniffer dog hire, identify the job you want carried out rather than assuming the team will also take over entrance duties or general guarding. We can supply those additional roles separately and show them in the proposal. This keeps your existing staff clear about who is doing what, particularly where a search takes place during a busy working period. Detection can be a single visit or part of a recurring programme. The price is explained for the specialist assignment, and relevant submitted incidents are available through the same client reporting route.

    What a useful patrol update should tell you

    An update becomes more useful when it connects a time, an area and an observation. A photograph may show the condition reported at a particular entrance; a note can explain why that condition matters or which contact was informed. A routine status confirmation serves a different purpose, helping operations know an expected update has been received.

    Our handlers submit photographs every hour during guarding cover, while incidents have their own report. When an officer submits an incident, the client receives an email and can revisit the history in the portal. That gives you both current communication and a record to use later. It also helps you ask the right follow-up question: whether an issue was observed, who was informed or what action was recorded. Contact Fast K9 Security Limited if you want an understandable patrol and reporting arrangement for your premises, with the working details organised after a short initial enquiry.

    We provide canine security and specialist drug detection in Harold Hill, RM3, with surrounding-area bookings also welcome. The district is shared with other locations, including Harold Wood. Tell us the premises address when arranging the service so the assignment relates to the correct property and entrance, not just the postal area.

    Training, licensing and insurance

    Fast K9 Security Limited holds ISO 9001 certification, SafeContractor approval and Constructionline Gold membership. Public liability insurance is in place. Relevant security personnel hold valid SIA licences, our general-purpose security dog handlers hold NASDU Level 2 handler training, and drug detection assignments use trained specialist handlers.

    These credentials sit alongside the practical service you receive: personnel carrying out defined duties, operations coordinating the assignment and reports that keep you informed. Our team can discuss the relevant supporting information with your procurement or facilities representative.

    Clear prices before you book

    Selected planned, recurring security dog-handler assignments start from £16.50 + VAT per hour. This starting rate does not apply automatically to every booking. Your quotation identifies the service, hours, applicable rate and any additional charges.

    Single shifts, temporary projects, urgent requirements, nights, weekends and bank holidays can all be quoted. Drug detection dog hire is priced separately for the search assignment. If you want guarding and detection together, we explain both elements in the proposal.

    Questions about updates and patrols

    Is an hourly update always a telephone call?

    No. A status update can be recorded through the app; we distinguish that from patrol activity and its photographs.

    Can I see an incident after receiving the email?

    Yes. Submitted incident history is available through the client portal for later reference.

    Can we book patrol cover without a detection visit?

    Yes. General canine guarding and specialist detection are separate services that can be purchased independently.

    Can you add a fixed officer for late arrivals?

    Yes. We can include an entrance role alongside the handler's patrol duties and explain the staffing in the quotation.
