Interquest Detection Canines®

Testimonials/Endorsements

“We have had a 25% decrease in drugs and alcohol incidents in Clear Creek ISD since starting the Interquest Detection Canines® program last year. Monthly comparisons from last year to this year show a 57% decrease for the month of December and a 55% decrease for the month of January. Regular monthly visits and the random check of classrooms has been a huge deterrent to the possession and use of drugs on campus.”

"Very effective tool in our priority to provide a safe learning environment. The Interquest staff is very cooperative and professional. The dogs are non-threatening breeds. It gives kids an excuse to say no and removes contraband from our school! The Interquest program gives schools and parents an opportunity to communicate on a serious area of concern."

From the district that set the cornerstone precedent setting case for the use of dogs in schools: "Goose Creek CISD has been fortunate to be associated with such a reliable canine detection group as Interquest. We look forward to our continuing association in the future."

"The Interquest Detection Canine program has served both as a prevention and Intervention model for our schools. We believe that students are less likely to bring drugs, alcohol, and dangerous weapons on campus or in their cars. Those students who are in possession of illegal substances or weapons as determined by the canines receive appropriate consequences providing intervention and punishment as determined by our behavioral and education codes. We believe the program to be quite effective in our district supported by CSSA statistics and suspension/expulsion rates."
