Securiguard maintains a highly trained Canine (K-9) division that is certified in narcotic and explosive detection as well as canine protection patrols. Developed for high-risk situations. Securiguard K-9 is Canada's largest private security K-9 provider, and our teams work in major land, sea, and air transportation hubs, arenas and industrial sites keeping people and property safe. We are rapidly expanding and are looking for dedicated people to join our team.

Our K-9 teams are geared for rapid response resourcing to assist our clients with unique challenges in camps, airports, cruise ships, trucking and shipping environments. Our K9 Detection teams are trained to the highest standards in Canada by our law enforcement partners. Our K-9 Division has trained with Canadian municipal and federal law enforcement, as well as in the United States with FBI, Homeland Security and State Police.

Currently we are recruiting for K9 Handlers to join our team of certified professionals. You must love dogs as your number one passion and have a strong desire to contribute to public safety. Have you always dreamed of working a job with just you and your dog? Here is your opportunity.
