K-9 Detection
Detection work that a walkthrough cannot do.
A trained dog resolves in an hour what a room-by-room search cannot resolve at all.
K-9 detection covers the situations a visual inspection cannot resolve: a suspected narcotics problem in a building you cannot search room by room, a bomb threat that has to be cleared before people return, a missing person, or a venue that needs a sweep before doors open. Teams are handler-led, and the handler stays responsible for the deployment from planning through the written result.
Founder Chris Itnyre is a former K-9 handler, and this capability reflects that background rather than being subcontracted as an afterthought. Deployments are planned in advance around the size of the area, what is being searched for, who else is present, and how the findings need to be documented.
Scope
What an assignment can cover
Not every assignment uses all of this. The assessment call decides which parts apply to your site, and the ones that do get written into the post orders before anyone is scheduled.

Narcotics detection
Sweeps of buildings, lockers, vehicles, and common areas where a substance problem is suspected.
-
Explosives detection
Pre-event venue sweeps and response to threats against a building or gathering.
-
Search and rescue support
Trailing and area search in support of a missing-person effort.
-
Cadaver search
Specialized recovery search work at the request of the responsible party.
-
Pre-event and pre-occupancy sweeps
Clearing a space before people are admitted, coordinated with the venue schedule.
-
Documented findings
A written account of the area covered, the method, and the outcome.
On Site
How the work actually runs
Deployments are planned before the team arrives: the size of the area, what is being searched for, who else will be present, and how the findings need to be recorded. Handler-led means the handler stays responsible for the deployment from that planning conversation through to the written result — the dog is the instrument, not the service.
Most sweeps are scheduled outside operating hours or during a planned closure. Where that is impossible, the deployment is worked around your traffic so the disruption is contained to one area at a time. Afterwards you receive a written account of the area covered, the method used, and the outcome.

Straight Answer
When this is not what you need
Detection work answers a specific question about a specific area at a specific moment. It is not ongoing security, and a clear sweep says nothing about tomorrow. Where the underlying problem is access rather than contraband, a patrol or a staffed post is the better spend.
Common Questions
Questions we are asked first
If yours is not here, it is a good first question for the call.
Call (410) 977-1510How much notice do you need for a K-9 sweep?
It depends on the size of the area and what is being searched for. Call with the location, square footage, and timing and we will tell you honestly what is achievable.
Will a K-9 sweep disrupt our operations?
Sweeps are usually scheduled outside operating hours or during a planned closure. Where that is not possible, the deployment is planned around your traffic so the disruption is contained.
Do we get anything in writing afterward?
Yes. You receive a written account of the area covered and the result, which is often what a landlord, insurer, or board is actually asking for.
