Our Mission
We provide cross-trained detection dog teams — narcotics, explosives, and firearms in one team — for commercial, government, and private organizations. The work is built around a simple idea: detection should be precise, and as close to invisible as possible to the people going about their day around it.
The word “interdiction” in our name just means stopping something before it gets in. That is the whole job — screening at the door rather than reacting after the fact.
Where We Work
K9IDS covers the entire United States. Our base is California’s Central Valley: Fresno, Clovis, Madera, Merced, Visalia, Hanford, Tulare, Porterville, Bakersfield, Modesto, and the surrounding communities. That is where a team can be on site fastest — it is not the edge of where we work.
- Available 24 hours a day, by appointment.
- Lead time is under six hours, depending on distance.
- Out-of-area work is booked as a two-day minimum engagement.
How We Operate
One Team, Every Odor
Every K9IDS dog is trained for scent work across all of the categories we offer — illicit substances, explosives and incendiaries, and firearms odors including gunpowder and black powder. One team can therefore screen a site for every one of those in a single visit, instead of you booking a separate dog for each concern.
What each odor group coversDetection Only, Never Force
Our dogs locate a target odor and quietly signal where it is. They are not trained for apprehension, patrol, or protection work. Our handlers do not search people, detain anyone, or make arrests — those decisions and actions stay entirely with you and, where appropriate, law enforcement.
How a sweep actually runsYour Policy, Not Ours
We screen property within the scope you define, and we hand findings to the contact you designate. What happens after an alert is always your organization’s decision, guided by your own policies and legal counsel.
Who we work withWhat We Can Prove Today
K9IDS is a new company. You will not find client names, case studies, or a “decades of combined experience” line anywhere on this site, because we have not earned them yet.
What we can do is let you inspect the work before you pay for any part of it. Four things, on request:
- The training and evaluation records for the exact dog and handler who would work your site.
- A written record after every visit of which areas were covered and when, whether or not the dog signals on anything.
- A certificate of insurance, licensing documentation, a W-9, and your own vendor packet completed and returned.
- A named point of contact who is the same person on every visit.
What Engaging Us Involves
No obligation at any stage before a signed agreement, and nothing here requires a decision from you today.
-
01
You Tell Us About the Site
A phone call or a message describing the facility, roughly how large it is, and what is prompting the inquiry. That conversation is enough for us to tell you whether a detection dog is even the right tool.
-
02
We Walk the Site Together
At no cost. We agree which areas are in scope, identify anything the dog should stay clear of, and note the access and timing constraints your operation runs on. Where distance makes an in-person walk impractical beforehand, we cover the same ground by phone or video.
-
03
You Get a Written Scope and Price
Areas covered, visit frequency, duration, and the rate — a flat fee per visit or a monthly rate for a standing schedule. If your process needs a certificate of insurance, licensing documentation, a W-9, or your own vendor packet completed, say so at this stage and it comes back with the scope.

Start With One Sweep if You Prefer
Wanting to see the work before committing to a schedule is a completely reasonable way to begin. Nothing obliges you to continue.
