Nose down.
Aim high.

K9 explosive detection for air cargo, warehouses and events. Los Angeles and Orange County, 24 hours a day.

What we do

Four services, one method.

Every assignment is the same underlying work: put a certified detection dog in front of freight or space, and read what the dog tells you.

Air cargo screening

Screening of freight at cargo facilities and warehouses, under TSA's Certified Cargo Screening Program — Canine.

Venue sweeps

A detection sweep of the venue before staff and guests arrive.

Facility inspection

Scheduled inspection of warehouses, docks and yards.

Event presence

Detection teams on site during an event, on standby or at designated points.

How the work is done

What we are, and what we are not.

We are a TSA-approved CCSF-K9 provider, working with 3PK9-C certified handler-dog teams.

The dogs are trained to find explosives and indicate on odour. They are not trained or deployed to apprehend, restrain or guard, and they do not search people.

We do not take care, custody or control of the freight we screen. Nothing is opened and nothing is unpacked. Freight stays under the control of the facility operator from the moment we arrive until the moment we leave.

We do not hire subcontractors. The teams that arrive are our own employees and our own dogs.

Outside our scope

  • Guarding, patrol or crowd control
  • Apprehension or physical intervention
  • Bag search or pat-down of people
  • Custody of client or guest property
  • Handling or rendering safe of any device
The dogs

Every detection dog lives with the handler who works it.

That is not a sentiment, it is how the reliability is built. A dog works for a reward, and the reward only carries meaning because of the relationship. Months of ordinary mornings go into the two seconds on a loading dock when it matters.

We have five dogs in service, German Shepherd and Belgian Malinois. Two to four teams work at a time, depending on the week.

The company

Formed in California, 2021.

Our first work came from a freight company that took a chance on a new K9 operation that year. Today we work directly for cargo facilities, freight forwarders and event venues across Los Angeles and Orange County.

We do not publish their names. The relationship is theirs, not ours to advertise — and a client list is not something a competitor should be able to read off a website.

The company is veteran-owned. Six people, including handlers and management.

No liability claims, no lawsuits, and no dog-related incidents since we were formed.
