Our Background

We introduced the use of trained detection canines to schools in Texas over twenty-five years ago. The Horton case of the early 1980's set the modern day parameters for the use of dogs in schools. We were a key element in that case and developed future policies and procedures to insure that our program was both effective and within accepted legal guidelines. Although a number of other cases occurred in the ensuing years, the courts have upheld our policies and procedures.

We are licensed by the U. S. Department of Justice, Drug Enforcement Administration, Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms Bureau, and state regulatory agencies as required.

Over 60% of our school clients use Title IV Safe and Drug Free school funds to support their canine program.

Our Location

Our company-owned headquarters are located on the northwest side of Houston. We conduct canine training, maintenance training and provide on-going support for our nationwide locations.
