Burkina Faso
Like much of the Sahel Region, Burkina Faso is facing an emerging threat from at least five different terrorist organisations.
Bordering Mali, Niger and the Ivory Coast, Burkina Faso had been comparatively unaffected by explosive violence until mid-2017.
However, a series of terrorist incidents involving IEDs has proven the migration of the threat and necessitated greater security measures.
At the request of commercial clients, SafeLane Global commenced operations in 2018 to enhance the safety of operations with canine support.
The lessons learned in mobilising this project have enabled SafeLane Global to respond with all possible speed to a range of explosive threats with turnkey solutions across Burkina Faso.

Detection dogs in Afghanistan: impressed with the professionalism
GardaWorld
"[SafeLane Global's] main duties include, vehicle searching (HGV's and cars) at a very busy Entry Control Point, and the twice daily sweep of a large construction site... When called upon the handlers who are permanently based here also search baggage and stores that need to come into this site. Their professionalism and good humour in sometimes very arduous conditions cannot recommended highly enough. The management I come into contact with on a very regular basis have an excellent working relationship with me and as far as I can see with their handlers, and it is obvious to me that the welfare of their men and animals here, and the quality of service is paramount to them. I am impressed with the professionalism of [SafeLane Global's] personnel at this location and they are a major contributing factor to the safety and security of this very important and prestigious construction site."
