In addition to security guards, a number of organizations make use of K-9 officers when patrolling their facilities. At Hudson Yards, the massive commercial and residential development on Manhattan’s West Side, canine patrols are on the front lines of security.
“Every delivery that comes into the campus reports to a vehicle screening area — which is about a block or two away from the main campus — they are checked in and screened via canine,” says John Beirne, Vice President of Security at Hudson Yards.
