I was reading this online. I have yet to see security K-9 Teams in malls. Mostly we see the PD K-9 and they are barking loudly to make the teens move.

IPC INTERNATIONAL’S CANINE CORPS PROGRAM IS ON PATROL
Bannockburn, IL. - IPC International Corporation, the nation’s premier provider of shopping center security, continues to expand its K-9 Security Services to strengthen security delivery options for its clients and the patrons who visit their centers.
“We are truly excited about the opportunities this program offers,” states Howard Kaplan, President and CEO of IPC International Corporation. “The development of this program required a great deal of time, planning, training and investment. It’s gratifying to see the expertise and structure we’ve built in the program is being embraced by clients as evidenced by the increasing demand for this specialized service,” Kaplan added.
IPC’s K-9 Security Services is under the command of Chad DuBose, Director, National K-9 Operations. DuBose is a former U.S. Marine K-9 Kennel Master with extensive field and organizational experience in K-9 operations.
Training is the foundation of the program and IPC’s K-9 Security Service teams are certified through the Indiana Law Enforcement Training Academy and American Working Dogs for patrol and detection. Additionally, all team handlers and their K-9 partners are certified in explosive detection and controlled aggression tactics through the Vohn Liche training academy in Denver, Indiana. The Vohn Liche academy is a highly regarded police K-9 training facility, extensively used by police departments and government agencies from across the nation, including the U.S. Secret Service White House detail.
A critical parameter for IPC’s K-9 Security Services is to maintain a low key and friendly interaction between patrons and employees of the shopping center. However, the quiet presence of a K-9 team passing by, or posting near, groups of people causing shopper or tenant concern has proven to have a noticeable and consistently positive influence on behavior. During the pilot portion of our program IPC K-9 Security Services were cited by patrons as a welcome addition to the center helping to maintain a positive shopping experience. While the goal of our K-9 Security Service teams is to blend in with the center and provide another layer of security and peace of mind, these extremely disciplined, well-trained security canines can be called into and out of action at a moment’s notice.
