Who is watching your property when you are not? Read on: it takes a few minutes and could save you a lot more than that. **In this guide you will see:** - Layers cover each other's gaps. - Guards: access and patrol. - K9: detection and deterrence. Quick answer Layered security uses different measures that cover each other's weaknesses. Guards control entry and patrol, K9 units add detection and deterrence, and escorts manage VIP and valuable movement. Together they give better coverage than any one alone, if they share a plan and a point of contact.
