K-9 Security Services

Japan is a designated rabies-free country in the world, so importing dogs from outside the designated countries or regions requires you to go through a very complicated and timeconsuming process. Furthermore, we often hear that VIP security personnel from overseas complaining that it is very difficult to find a K-9 service in Japan, where the introduction of security dogs is still behind. We are here to resolve such problems.
We can commit to guarding precious lives you must protect without fail.

Our Solutions

01
U.S. Military Stand

We conduct training in accordance with the U.S. military standards, not the Japanese standards. We initially started our K-9 trainings by inviting overseas instructors with proven results in this field (mainly from the U.S.).

02
Delivery Record
to the Public Sector

We are proud that we have a record of delivering to the Public Sector. That means our quality has been highly recognized. We strive to promote the use of explosive detection dogs in Japan.

03
The Only One in Japan
& Many Requests
from Overseas

We applied for registration as a security company and received approval from the Tokyo Metropolitan Public Safety Commission in 2017.
In the security industry, we are the first and only private company which specializes in the use of dogs for security.

Past Inquires

Explosives Detection
Case: 1 International Conferences

We want to use the explosives detection
service for the whole venue for the
international conferences where
VIPs will
be invited as guests.

  • Can you search not only the event venue itself, but also other places which could potentially come under attack, such as waiting rooms, backyards, neighboring facilities, etc.?
  • Can it be done even if we have foot traffic.
Case: 2 Concert Events

A large-scale event will be held at
a big
stadium, inviting artists and
celebrities.

  • We want to use the explosives detection service to protect the lives of celebrities.
  • Can you do search although we have wiring equipment around the stage?
  • We are worried because a lot of stuff will be carried into the backstage rooms. Will you also check them after they are carried in.
Case: 3 Multiple Facilities

We want to use the explosives
detection
service for multiple
facilities to be visited
such as
stores, hotels, vehicles etc.

  • Is it possible to search explosives at multiple facilities where foreign VIPs or celebrities plan to visit?
  • Is it still possible to provide security service although the specific destination and time schedule will not be finalized until the last moment.
  • Dogs’ fur and smell are our concern. Can they be managed properly?
Case: 4 Publicly-Owned Important Facilities

We want to use the explosives
detection
service to search places
such as
embassies, the state
guest house etc.,
where
dignitaries assemble.

  • Is it possible to provide the service not only when events are held, but also on a regular basis for deterrence.
  • We want to have hand baggage screening for people coming in and out on the days when events are held. Can you provide such service?
     
Case: 5 Important Facilities in the Private Secto

We want newly-built plants or research
labs that
handle national secrets
to be searched to make
sure that
there is no suspicious object
inside
before they are handed
over to the owners.

  • We want you to confirm the safety of the plants and research labs in the aerospace industry etc. that handle national secrets and of the surroundings.
  • During open-facility days and facility tours which are held several times a year, we want you to confirm that there are no dangerous objects installed.
Case: 6 Public Transportation

We want the security service for
deterrence in
open areas where
foot traffic cannot be
restricted.
 

  • We want the explosives detection service on an irregular basis (in an unpredictable manner) in the areas where we can expect a certain effect.
  • Is it possible to search places which cannot be opened such as lockers, delivery boxes, etc.?
  • Can you provide security even during heavily congested hours?
Narcotic Detection
Case: 1 Schools

We have been notified of a
suspicious case of
drug use on
campus. Since there is no
evidence, we need to take
actions carefully.

  • As part of the school’s drug abuse prevention campaign (externally as part of the deterrence measures), we want narcotic detection dogs to search our campus.
  • Can narcotic detection dogs detect some different kinds of drugs?
  • If worried parents request to search their home, is it possible to handle such request individually?
Case:2 Sports Team

We are considering implementing
anti-drug
measures in the team,
but the doping tests are
costly.

  • If it is possible to detect several types of drugs, we want the personal belongings and lockers of all the people concerned to be checked.
  • How does the price change, depending on the type of target drug and the number of target people?

Research

We strive to become a research institute to promote the use of security dogs across boundaries between the public and private sectors to ensure that more lives are saved.

What are the challenges for the K9 security solutions to be widely adopted.

There is no research specifically for detection dogs, which can be applied to the front line operations.

The correlations between canine stress and search accuracy, etc.
Submission of the reports to the Metropolitan Police Department, Customs, etc., with the aim of further improvement of knowledge, skills and domestic security measures
