Dogs (K9) & Handlers

It has been said that one dog team (K9 and handler) is deemed to be equivalent to 6 men, due to the acute senses of the dog, making this a cost-effective solution in certain environments. Infront K9 teams provide an excellent deterrent, particularly in preventing thefts and vandalism in remote and poorly lit areas.

Infront’s approach to our dogs and their handlers is based on ensuring our teams undertake much more than the basic training the QLD security legislation currently requires. Infront owns a 40acre training facility, west of Brisbane, and our staff and dogs are trained by world renown instructors, experienced in developing police and corrective services dog squads, internationally. A program has been specifically developed for Infront which provides superior training to our dog teams, in turn ensuring our dogs are treated with greater care and respect. The dog teams are expected to undertake regular ongoing training at least twice a month to fine-tune their skills.

Infront was also responsible for introducing the ‘muzzle model’ to Australia whereby dogs wear a basket style muzzle that has a quick release for when the dog is required to escalate their response. The muzzle also ensures that members of the public feel comfortable when the dog teams are working around them. All of the dog teams are a part of the Infront ongoing performance audit & review process to ensure our high standards are being maintained.
