Why use private firms over police for regular K9 sweeps?

Do you need a routine K9 Sweep? Private Firm > Local Police

    Are you looking for a K9 to ensure the safety of your business or school from illicit substances such as opiates, marijuana, or any other illegal substance? We receive calls daily from cargo companies, school principals, and owners of Drug Treatment Centers. The first thing they tell me is they tried going to the local police and were refused. To be honest, the police want to help! However, most precincts do not have the K9 staff hours to do routine patrol plus required weekly training and emergencies that may arise cause them to turn down off duty work to help local schools and business. This is why companies such as Drug Detecting Dogs are filling the gaps and ensuring the community is safe, utilizing highly trained dogs to carry out sweeps at schools, aboard cargo ships and drug rehab treatment facilities. 
   While local cops are doing their best to keep our communities safe from violence and narcotics, private firms are working hard ensuring the safety of private business and schools. Lets face the facts. Police K9s are expensive and require constant and ongoing training, up to 16 hours per week is recommended. The dogs are needed on a daily basis to accompany the officer handling the dog. These particular K9s have incredible work drives, but cannot work more than 5-8 hours a day to provide a balanced, healthy, long life, just like us. This is where private firms come in handy. The drug war and opioid epidemic is real! It is affecting our kids, our friends, our families! These substances are affecting performance in school and business. Worst of all, they tear families apart and lead to early death. Opioids just became the number one reason for accidental death in the United States. 
   Many people ask me a simple question. Why can’t my staff just handle these easy searches? Plain and simple, this is not easy business. A room could take hours to search for a human. A K9 can complete the exact same space in minutes. Remember, a canine’s sense of smell is up to one hundred thousand times stronger than ours. A dog can sort through all types of obstacles and locate drugs or illicit substances from a distance, then narrow down its exact location. Savvy business owners are now turning to private firms to ease the burden on their employees by utilizing private detection firms to sniff out these harmful narcotics. 
A dog sweep is the most efficient way to ensure a drug free school or business. A small investment’s return is indefinite when we consider the consequences of leaving these substances undetected. While the police maybe the first thought that comes to mind, let’s remember cops simply don’t have the budgets or man power plus the working hours to effectively help the massive growing need of K9 sweeps.
