Scent Detection Dogs
Detector Dogs
In the United States the use of dogs in detecting bombs started in the early 1940's.
In today's "war on terror" and unpredictable climate in which we go about our daily lives bomb detection canine teams play an important role. In 2010 the Pentagon was quoted stating "After $19 billion dollars were spent over 6 years the best bomb detector was the dog."
Highly trained/certified explosive detection canine (EDC) teams are a cost-effective and highly accurate means of detection when incorporated into your security operations. No person or machine can detect explosives as well as certified explosive detection canine teams. Our canine sweeps are a safe, non-intrusive and effective means to clear questionable packages, locate explosive devices and avoid unnecessary evacuations or disruptions to normal operations.
S.S.I. also realizes not every bomb detection canine team or program is equal. That is why it is our job to help educate end users as to why we are effective.
