Protecting a Nation in Transit

These dogs (Vapor Detect dogs) can detect target scents minutes after a person has left the immediate area. This detection is an extremely effective method in the war on terrorism in identifying possible suicide bombers and explosives left behind for deployment. Click here

These dogs represent a new breed of bomb-detecting "technology," the word given to the identification and training of dogs capable not only of sniffing out explosives in static environments, but when carried on a person. Called Vapor Wake®, this type of bomb detection involves the trained dog sampling suspect airborne particles from a human's wake and tracing the scent back to its source. This typically can be accomplished 45 seconds or more after a dog has crossed the suspect's wake.

The vapor wake k-9 team train on a daily basis. they are trained to search for suicide bombers. They practice by selecting one person [planted with explosives] as a decoy. The decoy walks through a crowded station, and the dog is trained to detect the particular odor of the explosive. This is the best equipment we have.

MGM Security Team

This team supports approximately 200 hundred Security Officers and Special Police Officers. This 1.4 billion dollar property sits on twenty-three (23) acres.

A majority of the detection dogs in the working dog industry have no certification / validation standards to adhere to. Since 9-11, the security of our nation has significantly changed. Concerns for security has grown Rapidly thus increasing our need for qualified Explosive Detection Dog Team (EDDT) services. For years EDDTs have provided critical support for our nation’s security, whether in the air, on land or at sea. They have provided added security for The President of the United States, Congress, Dignitaries and VIPs.

The potential for loss of life or serious bodily injury due to a criminal or terrorist act can be catastrophic. One of the most effective countermeasures to the increasing use of explosives by a terrorist or criminal is the deterrent value and the accuracy of the detection capability of an EDDT. With that being said, having a credible explosive detection program is critical.

In order to determine the effectiveness of an EDDTs ability, certain standards must be met, measured and maintained. This is accomplished when a system is put in place to ensure quality control and compliance. This system consists of employing a highly qualified evaluator to test and certify the EDDT prior to and during the time they are deployed in their operational environment.
