Research Based, Scientifically Tested
and Validated, Field Proven Detection Canine Services for Schools, Businesses, Industry, and Law Enforcement.

Canine / Handler training programs unfortunately sometimes provide
as little as 2-4 weeks of training before being deployed.

Some even require the handler to wear cameras for an office manager to monitor and approve the alert.

Our handlers undergo a full 26 week training and field mentoring program
before becoming deployment ready.
Additionally, we are escorted by a site administrator to ensure complete transparency.

We Set Standards
Others Try to Meet!
All of our teams are scientifically validated (as a team) utilizing double-blind testing prior to deployment.


All odor materials utilized as odor source
are pure materials.


We possess each and every license, permit, and registration required to legally operate where we deploy.
