Norvic Guards Launches K9 Explosives Detection Services: Ready for Martyn’s Law and Beyond
We’re excited to announce a major addition to our capabilities at Norvic Guards — we now have our own K9 Explosives Detection Unit (EDD), fully certified and operational.
With security demands growing and new legislation like Martyn’s Law on the horizon, venues, event organizers, and businesses are under more pressure than ever to ensure the highest standards of public safety. Our new EDD service is here to meet that challenge — offering a professional, efficient, and highly specialized layer of protection.
---
Certified and Ready to Deploy
Our new K9 unit is operated by a NASDU Level 4 qualified handler, trained to the highest standard in Explosives Detection. This means we are fully equipped and licensed to offer professional EDD services across a wide range of sectors including:
Public events
Stadiums
Arenas
Corporate functions
Private venues
VIP protection events
---
Why EDD Services Matter Now More Than Ever
With Martyn’s Law — officially known as the Protect Duty — set to be rolled out over the next 12–18 months, there is a strong shift towards tightening venue security across the UK. The legislation will require venues and public spaces to demonstrate robust counterterrorism preparedness.
Explosives detection dogs will become an essential component of compliance, and demand for qualified handlers is set to soar.
However, obtaining EDD certification is not easy — it’s expensive, highly regulated, and requires extensive training. As a result, qualified EDD handlers are rare, and in the coming months, they’ll become even harder to find. That’s why Norvic Guards is proud to offer this capability now — ready for when demand inevitably spikes.
---
Efficiency and Value
Why use an EDD unit? Simply put: one explosives detection dog can do the job of 10 personnel conducting physical searches. They are faster, more thorough, and far less intrusive to the public, reducing queues and increasing efficiency at entry points.
Typical service rates:
£450 per day (8-hour minimum shift)
£45/hour for extended shifts, with flexible negotiation for longer-term assignments
This not only provides peace of mind but can also save clients money over hiring large physical search teams.
---
What About Drugs Detection?
We’re not stopping at explosives detection. We are also working toward adding Drugs Detection Dogs to our K9 division — perfect for:
Music festivals
Horse racing events
Stadiums
Corporate functions
VIP events
For now, we can also supply qualified drugs detection handlers as needed, with competitive rates:
£30–£35/hour
Minimum 6-hour shifts
This means Norvic Guards can soon offer full-spectrum K9 services — explosives, drugs, and eventually general-purpose (GP) patrol dogs — covering disciplines that very few security providers in the region can match.
---
A New Standard for Event and Venue Security
Most clients just need to see a K9 demonstration or understand the capability to appreciate the massive advantage EDD units offer. In many cases, it’s the difference between just ticking a box and truly protecting the public.
Norvic Guards’ K9 team is available now for deployment — giving you a proactive, professional edge as new security standards come into force.
Whether you’re planning ahead for Martyn’s Law or simply want the best in preventative security, our EDD unit is ready.
📞 Contact us today to discuss how our K9 services can support your next event or venue security plan.

Why Every Norvic Guard Is Trained to Level 3 First Aid — And Why That Matters
When it comes to security, people often think about visibility, deterrence, and vigilance. But in real-world scenarios, the role of a security guard often goes far beyond simply “watching a door.” Emergencies don’t wait for paramedics. That’s why every Norvic Guard is trained to a minimum of Level 3 First Aid.
We believe that first response capabilities are not just an extra — they’re essential.
---
Security Isn’t Just About Prevention — It’s About Action
Imagine this: a member of the public collapses near a venue entrance. A client suffers a fall in the workplace. A fight breaks out at an event and someone is seriously injured. In all of these situations, the first person on scene is often not a paramedic — it’s a security guard.
In these critical first minutes, training makes the difference between stabilising a situation or letting it spiral out of control.
That’s where our Level 3 First Aid training comes in.
---
What Does Level 3 First Aid Cover?
Level 3 First Aid isn’t a tick-box certification. It’s an advanced, regulated qualification that includes:
Primary and secondary assessment
CPR and AED (Defibrillator) use
Major trauma response (including bleeding and shock)
Management of head, spinal, and chest injuries
Administering emergency oxygen
First aid for seizures, asthma, diabetes, and anaphylaxis
This means our guards are equipped to provide critical care until medical professionals arrive. They're not just there to report an incident — they’re trained to respond.
---
Why We Made It Our Standard
We didn’t choose Level 3 First Aid because we had to. We chose it because we should.
At Norvic Guards, we’re building more than a business — we’re building a reputation for professionalism, preparedness, and care. In high-risk environments, construction sites, public events, or even quiet office receptions, health emergencies can strike without warning. When they do, we want our guards to be ready, not reactive.
That level of readiness saves time. Saves confusion. Sometimes, it can save lives.
---
Added Value for Our Clients
When you hire Norvic Guards, you’re getting more than security — you’re getting trained emergency responders as part of your on-site team. That reduces risk, improves compliance, and demonstrates to your staff and customers that their safety is taken seriously.
Our presence can help fulfil your health and safety responsibilities, support your event risk assessments, and give peace of mind knowing someone qualified is always nearby.
---
A Higher Standard You Can Trust
We don’t believe in doing the bare minimum. That’s why our hiring standards, training expectations, and guard capabilities all reflect the level of service we aim to provide.
We want Norvic Guards to be the team you call when you can’t afford to get it wrong.
If you're looking for security personnel who are not just trained to protect but also prepared to respond, Norvic Guards are ready.
What Makes a Great Security Guard – And Why We Only Hire the Best
At Norvic Guards, we didn’t set out to be just another security company—we set out to set the standard. In an industry where “good enough” is often the norm, we made the decision early on to build something different. Something better.
Whether it’s guarding a construction site, managing access at an event, or providing static coverage for businesses, a security guard is often the first person someone sees—and the last line of defence when things go wrong. That responsibility matters. That’s why we’re extremely selective about who wears the Norvic Guards badge.
So, what exactly makes a great security guard?
1. Situational Awareness is Non-Negotiable
A great guard isn’t reactive—they’re proactive. They don’t wait for problems to appear; they spot potential risks before they escalate. Whether it’s monitoring foot traffic, reading subtle behaviour changes, or identifying vulnerabilities on site, situational awareness is key.
At Norvic Guards, we look for individuals with sharp instincts and the ability to stay alert, hour after hour, regardless of how “quiet” the shift may seem.
2. Professionalism in Every Moment
Security officers represent your business as much as they represent ours. From uniform to conduct, communication to confidence, professionalism is a non-negotiable part of the role.
We only recruit those who understand the importance of first impressions, consistency, and integrity—because if you can’t trust your guard to show up looking sharp and ready, what else might be slipping through the cracks?
3. Calm, Clear Communication
Dealing with the public—sometimes in tense or high-pressure situations—requires more than presence. It requires patience, assertiveness, and clarity. Whether it’s de-escalating a conflict, reporting an incident, or communicating with team members or clients, our guards are trained to speak with authority and professionalism at all times.
4. Background and Experience That Actually Matters
We don’t believe in filling rosters just to tick boxes. Many of our team come from military, enforcement, or experienced private security backgrounds. We know what real-world pressure looks like—and we recruit those who’ve handled it before.
But more than experience, we look for discipline, leadership, and reliability. Security isn’t about bravado. It’s about responsibility.
5. Ongoing Training – Because Standards Change
An SIA badge is the legal minimum—but we go further. Our guards are supported with training in first aid, conflict resolution, customer service, mobile patrol tactics, and incident reporting. We keep our teams current because the threats, expectations, and best practices are always evolving.
Why We’re So Selective
We’re building a company to last. That means no shortcuts, no complacency, and no hiring just to fill uniforms. Every guard we put on site is someone we’d trust to protect our own people, our own business, and our own mission.
We know our clients don’t just want a presence—they want peace of mind. And that only comes with a guard who is alert, professional, and capable.
A Message to Clients (and Future Recruits)
If you’re a business owner looking for reliable, highly trained security personnel, we’d be proud to support you. And if you’re a professional who believes you meet our standards and want to be part of something that takes pride in doing it right—we want to hear from you.

Why Every Ambitious Business Needs a Great Accountant – And Who Helped Us Get It Right!
Launching a new business is one of the most exciting—and challenging—things any team can do. At Norvic Guards, our vision has always been clear: we aim to become one of the most trusted and professional security companies in the UK. With a combined background in military, management, and front-line security, our team understands how to lead from the front. But when it came to getting our business off the ground the right way, we knew we needed expert guidance behind the scenes too.
One of the smartest decisions we’ve made so far? Bringing a great accountant on board from day one.
There’s a common misconception that accountants are just for filing taxes or balancing spreadsheets. But when you’re setting up a business with ambition—one that needs to scale, stay compliant, and keep finances watertight—you need more than just number crunching. You need a partner who understands growth, structure, and sustainability.
That’s exactly what we found with Swan Saunders.
From the beginning, the team at Swan Saunders made the process simple, smooth, and incredibly professional. They helped us register everything properly, made sure our accounting systems were clean and efficient, and gave us clarity on everything from payroll to VAT. Just as importantly, they took the time to understand what Norvic Guards was all about—our goals, our model, and the scale we’re aiming for.
In any industry, especially one as operational and people-focused as security, staying on top of finances isn’t just a formality—it’s a vital part of running a professional service. Delays in payroll, messy bookkeeping, or unclear tax positions can derail progress fast. Thanks to Swan Saunders, we started from a position of strength.
It’s also worth mentioning that working with an accountant who actually cares about your success makes a real difference. There was no upselling, no vague advice—just straight, reliable support from a team that knows what they’re doing. That kind of clarity is invaluable, especially when you’re juggling the endless demands of setting up a business.
While we won’t go into all the fine details of our setup, we will say this to any other entrepreneurs or small business owners:
Invest in a good accountant early. Not just any accountant—one who’s proactive, responsive, and knows how to guide a growing business through the early stages and beyond.
If you’re looking for that kind of support, we highly recommend checking out Swan Saunders. They've been a key part of our early journey, and we’re grateful for their expertise.
At Norvic Guards, we’re building something serious—something built to last. That starts with great service, strong values, and yes, the right people around us from the start.
This is just the beginning.
Meeting Minds: Our Vision Alignment Session with Cog Media
It all begins with an idea.
At Norvic Guards, we believe strong partnerships are the foundation of long-term growth — and that starts with aligning visions. This week, we had the pleasure of sitting down with the talented team at Cog Media for a collaborative strategy session that marks the beginning of something exciting.
Whether you're guarding a physical site or building a digital presence, the same principle applies: clarity, consistency, and communication. That’s exactly what this meeting was about.
A Shared Vision for Growth

From website performance and layout to logo clarity and service navigation, no stone was left unturned. Cog Media offered valuable advice on tightening our visual identity and using design to better communicate our values. This included ideas around font hierarchy, color palette reinforcement, and mobile responsiveness — all crucial in today’s fast-paced digital space.
Digital Strategy Meets Real-World Impact
What excited us most about this session was the focus on digital strategy, not just design. Cog Media understands that for businesses like ours, it’s not just about looking good — it’s about being found, being trusted, and converting visitors into clients.
We discussed ways to strengthen our SEO presence, enhance user experience, and create a seamless customer journey from first click to final handshake. Their approach to UX-focused design and clear content structure gave us a roadmap for future growth.
Collaboration at the Core
This wasn’t just a standard web meeting — it was a true meeting of minds. Both teams came ready to contribute, share insights, and build something meaningful. We’re firm believers that when creative experts and mission-driven businesses come together, the results speak for themselves.
We’re looking forward to implementing the ideas discussed and continuing to develop our partnership with Cog Media. Watch this space — exciting updates are coming soon.
What’s Next?
With Cog Media’s expertise guiding our next steps, Norvic Guards is investing in more than just digital upgrades — we’re investing in client confidence, brand strength, and a future-proof foundation.
