CANINE SERVICES

BRG offers highly trained drug and bomb dogs for hire. We also offer a contraband dog, which combines narcotics detection, some explosives, weapons and certain prescriptions commonly abused. Our handlers all hold a National Certification through drug beat, and have to re-certify every two years.

We utilize the most recent methods in our drug dog training. Very few private drug inspection K9 services offer the national certification and the experience of our handlers. Our company has over 55 years of combined experience with our primary handlers.

Our handlers offer on site field testing of substances found. This will help eliminate the unknown of a substance found. We currently use the Valtox testing system.
