The Fastest-Growing Capability in Private Security
Firearms Detection K9
Firearms and concealed-weapon incidents have become one of the highest-risk factors for private venues, large events, and corporate properties. Parallax K9 Solutions provides dedicated firearms detection dogs trained to identify live weapons, ammunition, gun oil, firing residue, and related components, giving your security plan a proactive, early-warning layer.
Why Firearms Detection Matters
Weapons are the #1 threat for:
- bars & nightlife
- casinos
- stadiums & event centers
- festivals & concerts
- corporate HQ entry points
- schools & special events
- private estates & UHNW gatherings
Unlike traditional explosives dogs, firearms detection K9s are optimized specifically for live weapons, ammunition, and related odors that standard security misses.
What Our K9 Teams Detect
- Handguns (loaded/unloaded)
- Rifles & carbine-style weapons
- Magazines & ammo
- Firing residue (GSR)
- Suppressor components
- Weapon parts stored in bags, clothing, vehicles, or concealed on the body
If it’s associated with a functional firearm, our dogs will locate it.
How Firearms K9s Change Your Security Posture
Reduction in weapons attempts:
Most carriers avoid entry when they see or sense K9 presence.
Support for bag checks & magnetometers:
Dogs detect what metal detectors miss (polymer guns, hidden ammo, non-metal components).
Rapid response capability:
K9 can immediately investigate suspicious behavior or areas.
Insurance & liability benefits:
Shows active mitigation of the #1 cause of venue violence.
Calmer crowd behavior:
K9 presence increases compliance and reduces the “rowdy curve” in nightlife and large venues.
