“$19 Billion Later, the Pentagon’s Best Bomb-Detector Is Still a Dog.”
A well-trained Explosive Detection Dog (EDD) team remains the most effective, mobile and efficient method of detecting explosives in any environment.
At Lupus Canine Support Services, we deliver specialist canine capability trusted by police, military and private sector clients worldwide.
Choosing The Right Explosive Detection Provider
With many companies offering explosive dog services, selecting the right one is essential for true peace of mind. Before appointing any provider — large or small — ask the following:
- Do they operate to British Standards BS 8517-2:2016 – Code of Practice for the Use of Detection Dogs?
- Are their training staff current on explosive trends, precursors, devices and operational methods?
- What is their operational background? (Police, Military, EOD)
- Do they hold a live explosives licence (not pseudo-scent), issued by their local Police Force?
- Do they train on variable quantities of explosives? Dogs must work small and large amounts to be effective.
- Are their dogs environmentally sound in noisy, crowded, high-traffic, or confined spaces?
- Do they conduct full risk assessments for each location: venue type, crowd size, threat indicators, and operational constraints?
- Do they have correct protocols for action on a find, including communication and escalation?
- Can they integrate confidently with existing security teams — and lead when required in an emergency?
- Will they provide a demonstration? No professional company will ever refuse.
