Detection Services FAQs

No, we’re not affiliated with law enforcement or other government agencies. We provide confidential, discreet narcotics searches. We’re not required to notify police of our findings. We also have no authority to make an arrest. The confidential nature of Maximum K9s narcotics searches gives parents, employers, or school administrators the opportunity to use the appropriate discretion for the situation at-hand. It is left up to you to notify law enforcement.

If our K9 detects the odor of drugs, the handler identifies the location and marks it. Then, we will help you locate the source. Illegal drugs are often well hidden. Please keep in mind, our detection teams will not dig the contraband out of its hiding spot. We are simply there to let you know it exists, help you locate it, but it is up to you to physically touch and handle it. We are NOT law enforcement.

It depends on several factors. There are many factors that can affect the length of time a search will take. For example, the size of the area you need our handler-k9 teams to search. In our years of experience, a 2500 square foot residential house takes approximately one hour.
