AFTER OVER 25 YEARS OF MANAGING SOME OF THE LARGEST JAIL, PRISON, CORRECTIONAL TREATMENT, AND HALFWAY HOUSE SYSTEMS IN THE COUNTRY…
The owners of CAG K9 became private contractors in 2007 where they began to share their expertise in security contract management services with private companies and community organizations. Over the past 25 plus years we have been operations contractors to well over 500 contract and self-op correctional facilities nationwide at any given time. All CAG Security and K9 teams have a rating of “Excellence” and are all certified by the United States Police Canine Association.
CAG K9 is a leader in Security services and can also provide K9 Narcotics and Weapons Detection services. CAG K9 provides a pro-active secure component to help stop problems before they happen!
CAG K9 Detection provides K9 Narcotics & Weapons detection services the following:
- Churches & Schools (Private & Public) – Discreet and private detection services with our clients deciding what actions are taken when narcotics or weapons are detected. Since CAG K9 is not law enforcement, we are not required to make an arrest and confidentiality can be maintained for our client. Guns, Vaping of THC oils, and other narcotics in schools is becoming more frequent and detecting such contraband with K9s before terrible things happen should be a component of every schools security protocol. CAG K9 can assist with an active shooter K9 prevention program as well, please call for more information.
- Private Residences – CAG K9 helps parents and family members who suspect a loved one might have a drug problem search their homes to confirm any suspicions. We then allow parents to address any findings confidentially without involving law enforcement so that families can get their loved ones the treatment help they might need.
- Narcotics Treatment Centers and Halfway Houses – When people are addicted, they will often do anything possible to bring contraband into a drug free facility. If a resident overdoses, liability and lawsuits can be very expensive. Our K9 teams are a pro-active solution to finding narcotics BEFORE there is an accident and the K9s themselves are a strong deterrent for drug activity because people know narcotics can not be hidden from a K9.
- Business and Public Venues – CAG K9 can search offices, warehouses, truck depots, concerts, or any other private or public venues.
- Apartment Complexes and Neighborhoods – CAG can provide a full service security team as well as K9 patrol services.
