Explosives (bomb) and narcotic detection for securing events and venues.

Our K9 Security Services?

K9 Tech Security offers quality canine detection services, including explosives, firearms, and narcotics detection. Our services effectively secure venues, events, public sites, and government buildings

K9 Technology detection dogs are trained to detect firearms and explosives by scent. Well-trained dogs are the most effective method for this. Our dogs can detect scents from both static and moving objects and indicate detection to their handlers. We deploy the most experienced handlers and dog teams. Additionally, we are the only K9 detection security firm offering threat detection identification intelligence services before and during events.

Why Chose Our Detection Services?

The main differentiators of K9 Technology’s canine detection security services are as follows:

We have implemented a strong quality assurance program to assure the effectiveness of our canine teams.
We only take on projects that our canine teams can deliver well.
We offer an additional threat detection intelligence services from a leading cyber security intelligence firm.
We use solid business management practices to both finance and operations. This allows us to be the most dependable and best run canine detection security company in the industry in the US.
We implement US Department of Homeland Security Explosives Detection Canine Technologies SAFETY Act program guidelines and requirements.

K9 Technology Quality Assurance Program

Many canine detection companies suffice by hiring certified canine detection teams. This is a good start, but even when a dog and its handler hold a national certification equivalent to those of law enforcement does not assure reliable quality detection in all circumstances.

As the demand for canine detection services is high, it would not be practical to just use teams trained by K9 Technology training experts. Therefore, we developed a solution that addresses the quality requirements while keeping the cost reasonable to our customers.

Improving K9 detection effectiveness of our teams

We offer our employees and contractors the combination of continuing education and training in detection to continue to improve their canines’ skills. These seminars are offered by the leading police and military dog trainers in the US. We do not stop with continuing training; we also conduct random surprise quality checks on customers’ locations.

The purpose of these random quality detection checks is to provide feedback to our canine teams for how to improve their performance, help us to better select canine teams for future engagements, and help us provide our customers’ feedback on how to improve the security of their events and venues.

K9 Technology complies with the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) best practices for canine detection training and testing. We also follow DHS SAFETY Act requirements.

For example, in our training seminars we often deploy non-targets which include controls and distracters. DHS defines Controls as items that a canine may inadvertently associate as the target like a bag containing no scent. Distracters are random items placed by a familiar person to the canine that do not contain any of the target scents.

Compliance with DHS Requirements

As required by DHS, we follow rigorous procedures during our testing and training of detection canine teams:

In addition to use of non-targets, we utilize procedures that further eliminate inadvertent indicators, bias, and “cheats”.
Storage of controls and scent targets using identical manner (such as containers).
Changing the scent aging duration — the time between a scent object is placed/hidden and a dog is directed to search for it.
Keeping training logs to avoid patterns.
Rotation of staff.

By following canine detection best-practices and DHS guidelines in our training, seminars and testing, K9 Technology strives to achieve the highest level of reliability and quality of our canine team detection work. We then follow-up with industry unique random on-site testing of our teams to measure their performance and provide continuing improvement feedback.

Cyber Intelligence Solution

K9 Technology is the only canine security company in the USA that offers a complimentary cyber intelligence service. We partnered with a leading Israeli cyber security firm to offer this service. What is this service?

This service is based on the integration of WEBINT, social media monitoring, cyber intelligence, and highly skilled cyber-security center. The service is based on very advanced technology and in the heart of this service is highly qualified cyber intelligence team.

K9 Technology’s external team of cybersecurity experts brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the table, with diverse backgrounds and skill sets that enable us to deliver comprehensive and effective solutions to our clients. Many of our team members have served in the military, bringing with them a unique perspective and experience in dealing with complex security challenges. In addition, many of their team members are fluent in multiple languages, which allows us to better serve clients with global operations.

In a nutshell, they scan social media, dark web, darknet, open Internet sources and social media for suspected threats against our customers’ venues and events. Once these threats are identified, they are graded and rated and passed to our deployment team leads and customer’s security team. This information will enable us to more effectively focus our K9 teams on potential threats. In the event the threats are of high urgency and high probability, we will also alert the local and federal authorities.

For example, if we get notification of an individual planning to conduct a shooting at the event, we will focus our K9 teams to scan visitors for firearms. If we get, however, an alert of a possible car bomb, we will focus our resources to inspect incoming vehicles for explosives.

K9 Technology Business Management

Customers need fiscally well-managed canine detection firms to ensure long-term viability and good service. Many US canine security companies lack proper management. Simon Raban founded K9 Technology, bringing extensive experience in managing complex businesses and a proven track record of success.

Operations management best-practices

Operations management is as crucial as financial management. Many canine security vendors fail to deliver promised resources and services. K9 Technology emphasizes operations management, ensuring smooth processes from booking to execution and billing. Our focus is on customer satisfaction, not just revenue

Setting clear expectations

We set clear customer expectations about our capabilities. Our principals may visit the venue before committing to a contract. Understanding the location and customer expectations helps us deploy the right canine teams for effective detection. We make recommendations to maximize success and may decline contracts if critical recommendations cannot be implemented. We only accept work if we can deliver quality service.

Communications with customers

Communication is vital. Our operations managers continuously communicate with customers and canine teams before, during, and after events to gather feedback and improve future services. Our top management is closely involved in every event, ensuring K9 Technology delivers quality service.
