  • Nationally Certified Teams

    We take pride in the rigorous certification standards our canine teams uphold. Each team undergoes a series of strict evaluations by independent third-party assessors to validate proficiency against national and international standards for explosive and firearms detection. We are proud to boast over a 95% NAPWDA & DOJ NORT pass rate across our fleet. These certifications confirm our teams' effectiveness in real-world conditions, guaranteeing reliability and trust in their capability to safeguard public and private sectors alike.
  • Specialized Training Programs

    Every canine is paired with a professional handler, often with a background in law enforcement or military service, to undergo a rigorous and specialized training regimen. This program is designed to develop the highest level of proficiency in explosives and firearms detection. Training includes scenario-based exercises that mimic real-life threats. Our canine teams are not only skilled but also ready to adapt to the dynamic challenges they might face in the field.
  • Comprehensive Detection

    Our teams are equipped to detect a wide range of threats by identifying odors from all five families of commercial explosives in addition to homemade explosives and firearm related odors. This comprehensive detection capability is crucial for operating in various high-risk environments, from transit systems and commercial real estate to large public events. Our canines are trained to recognize and alert handlers to the presence of these threats, providing a critical layer of security.
  • ATF-Licensed Facilities

    Our 11 nationwide training sites are licensed by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and feature state-of-the-art equipment and environments designed for advanced training scenarios. These facilities host regular, methodical training sessions that focus on sustaining and enhancing the performance levels of our canine teams. The regular exposure to a wide variety of explosive and firearm odors ensures that each canine's detection abilities are always sharp and reliable.
  • Customizable Solutions

    Understanding that security needs vary greatly across different environments, we offer customizable canine detection services tailored to meet the specific requirements of each client. Clients can elect to deploy an approachable sporting breed canine, such as a Labrador Retriever, or a herding breed, such as a German Shepherd or Belgian Malinois for a stronger visual deterrent. All breeds selected and deployed by 91ÊÓƵ meet the same stringent training and testing requirements. Our adaptability allows us to provide effective security measures for a diverse range of venues, from corporate campuses to international sporting events.
  • Efficient Field Management

    91ÊÓƵ utilizes state-of-the-art technology programs to facilitate scheduling and performance management. Our software program, EPay, delivers schedules directly to handlers, notifies them of any changes in real time, allows them to clock-in on post with location confirmation, and stores site-specific post orders accessible to personnel at all times.
