Explosives Detection

We are living in uncertain times and the threat of bombings at large public and private gatherings are as real as ever. Event security is a critical, wise investment to ensure guest safety.

PDX Bomb Dog teams include highly trained detection dogs and experienced handlers. Each K9 team works together to conduct searches for a variety of explosive materials near building exteriors/common areas, stage and backstage areas, loading docks, security checkpoints, vehicles, packages, and pedestrians in and around assigned facilities.

Explosive Detection Dog teams play a critical role in our comprehensive preventive security measures. We utilize these specialized teams to support strategic explosive detection activities and provide immediate response to bomb threats and other dangerous items.

Our K9 teams work to detect or quickly rule out the presence of dangerous materials and allow customers to continue operating with minimal or no interruption.

Our K9 teams are a strong visible and psychological deterrent against criminal and terrorist threats.

Firearm Detection

With the increase of domestic terrorist threats and mass shootings during public gatherings, the need for firearm detection dogs to ensure security during these events is increasing. Our detection dog teams can offer you that security and peace of mind by checking arenas, sporting events, coliseums and other areas.

Our detection dogs are trained to locate a variety of explosive compounds and formulas and can also readily locate concealed weapons and ammunition. We are able to effectively scan a venue prior to an event and our dogs are social enough around the public that they can also be employed to work during an event to intercept.
