K9 Division

Certainty, in
about a minute.

Narcotics and explosive detection teams that clear a room, a vehicle, a locker bank or a cargo pallet faster than a search warrant can be typed — and are trained to protect life and property once they get there.

Book a Screening Ask About Training

Narcotics Detection

Our narcotics detection teams are trained to detect cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl and several other illegal drugs — in vehicles, lockers, dorms, workplaces and treatment facilities.

Explosive Detection

Our explosive detection teams are trained to detect more than 20 dangerous substances, and have completed training through the TSA 3PK9 program for cargo screening at commercial port facilities.

Tracking & Protection

These are dual-purpose teams. They are also trained to protect life and property through defensive tactics, and can track a fleeing suspect or a missing person.

TSA 3PK9

Cleared for the cargo that can't wait.

Third-Party Explosives Detection Canine screening exists because freight moves faster than fixed screening equipment. Our teams have completed TSA 3PK9 training for cargo screening at commercial port facilities — which means your pallets get cleared on your dock, on your schedule.

Handler and canine credentials available for your compliance file
Scheduled recurring screening or on-call surge coverage
Coordinated with our uniformed officers for full gate-to-dock control

Training & certification

Build the capability in-house.

Our instructors are NAPWD certified to train both canines and handlers. Whether you're a police agency standing up a K9 unit, a corrections facility adding detection capability, or a private company that would rather own the asset than rent it, we can sponsor a course or bring our trainers to you.

Green-dog selection and imprinting through to certification
Handler development — reading the dog, search patterns, courtroom-ready documentation

Questions we get

Straight answers.

How long does a sweep take?

Far less time than most people expect. A vehicle takes minutes; a locker bank or a classroom wing is typically cleared in a single visit. Give us the square footage and the layout when you call and we'll give you a realistic window.

What happens if the dog alerts?

The handler documents the alert and hands control back to you — your administrator, HR lead, security director or the responding agency. We do not conduct searches or seizures in your place; we give you a defensible, documented reason to act.

Can we schedule recurring, unannounced sweeps?

Yes, and for deterrence that's usually the better program. We'll set a randomized schedule inside a window you approve so the deterrent stays real without disrupting operations.

Do you screen cargo under TSA rules?

Our explosive detection teams have completed TSA 3PK9 training for cargo screening at commercial port facilities. Tell us your facility and freight profile and we'll confirm exactly what we can cover for you.
