K9 screening and detection teams for public safety and security programs

Security requirements have grown in scale and necessity across the globe. As technologies change, law enforcement and government agencies, public corporations, and private organizations must evolve to stay in front of those who seek to do harm. Highly trained and certified canines led by professional handlers address many of these concerns.

K9 screening and detection teams provide specialized skills to bolster public safety and security programs. From keeping our troops safe overseas, securing large-scale venues and events, and providing safe public transportation options, to creating faster, more accurate cargo screening solutions, K9 teams are valuable and cost-effective additions to security operations.

Constellis offers turn-key program management solutions to supplement government agencies and multinational corporations in high risk and complex environments across the globe.

Constellis K9 Services with AMK9

AMK9 a Constellis company logo

Constellis acquired AMK9 in 2017 to fully integrate K9 services into our global risk management and security offerings.

We offer a variety of K9 security services for government, non-government and commercial organizations in the United States and overseas. Providing a strong, visible K9 presence has proven highly effective in deterring criminal and terrorist threats, but when issues do arise, our K9 teams are an accurate and effective detection resource.

Qualifications

All Constellis handlers must have a preferred minimum of two years of experience working a single or dual-purpose dog in either the military or law enforcement. Our K9 teams are certified by the U.S. Military Working Dog Certification Authorities according to Military Working Dog standards. Our standards and qualifications for working dogs and handlers ensure our teams are highly skilled in detection and patrol and are trained in crisis management.

Our Canines

Constellis’s working dogs are chosen for their levels of environmental tolerance, hunt and play characteristics. Dogs with these characteristics are undistracted in a robust environment, have exceptional endurance, enthusiasm, and motivation for performance activities.

Each dog is handpicked following strict guidelines, quality and performance standards. We use senior trainers and subject matter experts to perform hands-on assessments and testing of each dog, looking especially for:

  • Environmentally Strong

  • Quality and Performance

    • High drive
    • Good overall health
    • Genetics/breeding
    • Workability and endurance
  • Personality

    • A stable and approachable disposition
    • Consistent and appropriate behavior
    • Eagerness to exhibit obedience to verbal or signaled commands
    • Above average hunting and retrieval instincts
    • Exceptional intelligence and acuity
  • Evaluation

    • Less than 10% of canines screened will pass evaluations and be approved for training at our facilities.

Technology Tracking

We have designed and developed a proprietary web-based K9 Program Management Information System (K9 PMIS) to track key performance indicators. K9 PMIS enhances our ability to understand and manage the full lifecycle of our handlers and canines, providing insights into canine inventory, handlers, project assignments, training and health records. A customer portal gives instant access to projects, teams and records. 

Certifications

We follow the highest standards within the industry to evaluate our canines and ensure we are meeting contractual requirements and customer expectations. Our standards meet or exceed industry standards.
