EDK9™ for High-Threat Environments

Explosive Detection K9 tailored for UHNWI, HNWI, and C-suite protection

When weapons are restricted and optics matter, EDK9™ is the missing layer: a mobile, non-lethal control point that buys time, distance, and options, without turning your day into a security spectacle.

What EDK9™ is (and isn’t)

Most “bomb dogs” were built for static posts and checkbox sweeps. EDK9 is different: selection, training, and doctrine are tuned for executive operations: tight timelines, mixed environments, and zero drama.

EDK9 = detection precision + behavior-shaping presence + executive-grade reporting.

  • Client fit: UHNWI/HNWI principals, family offices, estates, private aviation, board travel, and no-gun/optics-sensitive venues.
  • Outcome: Fewer encroachments and bag risks, cleaner movements, fewer hands-on moments—and a defensible paper trail.

Training that holds up in the real world

Odor mastery (what the dog actually finds)

  • Broad explosive library, run as single scents and mixed problems.
  • Trained to work in motion—lines, entries, VIP hallways—not just staged hides.
  • Full-spectrum search: vehicles, luggage, rooms/estates, docks/back-of-house, aircraft/FBOs, mail and packages.

Ready for messy environments

  • Comfortable on slick floors, elevators, tight stairs, kitchens, low light, noise, and crowds.
  • Ignores food, trash, pets, strollers, and camera flashes; stays steady around press lenses.
  • Conditioned for sudden noise/light (pyro, strobe, bangs) so surprises don’t derail the work.

Handler approach (how it stays discreet)

  • Plainclothes or low-profile uniform to match the setting.
  • Times routes and arrivals with the security driver; screens the final approach to entrances.
  • Clean “in and out” at doors, calm control at thresholds, quiet cues that don’t turn heads.
  • Clear, lawyer-ready notes: timestamps, locations, exceptions, and near-misses your counsel and insurer can use.

Welfare & compliance (non-negotiables)

  • Heat-index work/rest plans; vehicle climate controls and monitors.
  • Vet records and county licensing on hand.
  • Detection-first posture (non-bite by default); public-safe presence and optics.

How we deploy EDK9™ (built for executive reality)

Estates / RST

  • Daily “thresholds” checked: front door, garages, package routes; verify deliveries; quick perimeter laps; brief staff touch-points.
  • You get: a simple swept-area map, an exception list, and small fixes that tighten vendor/service routines.

Events / No-gun venues

  • Pre-event sweep (front and back of house, VIP corridors, storage/closets), then quiet staging and mobile passes once doors open.
  • You get: seal/timestamps, planned re-sweep windows, a choke-point watch list, and a short post-event note.

Movements / Travel

  • FBO and hotel arrivals, quick baggage/vehicle checks, calm curbside control, and a final-approach check with the security driver.
  • You get: a time-and-distance sketch, arrival sequencing, simple load/unload diagrams, and liaison notes.

Crisis / Elevated threat

  • Add redundancy, increase frequency of mobile passes, and hold a clean entry line until spaces are cleared.
  • You get: shorter loops, more updates, and a visible uptick in standoff without a show of force.

 What you actually receive (no mystery, no jargon)

  • Pre-mission brief: goals, zones to cover, timing, and how we’ll communicate.
  • EDK9 sweep log: time-stamped passes, locations, exceptions, and photos when useful.
  • Near-miss notes: what almost became a problem—and what we changed to prevent it.
  • Post-ops summary (1 page): quick ROI snapshot (e.g., unsecured storage locked, vendor route corrected, bag policy enforced).
  • Compliance packet: insurance COIs, handler/K9 credentials, and a welfare SOP excerpt.


Bottom line: EDK9™ gives you earlier detection, calmer movements, and paperwork that stands up when the board or insurer asks, “What did we actually do today?”
