MSA Explosive Detection Canines successfully address the threat of IEDs at high-profile targets, including sports and entertainment venues, public transit hubs, cargo facilities, landmarks, commercial buildings and more. Our explosive detection dogs are imprinted on all five families of commercial explosives, as well as homemade explosives (HMEs) like TATP and HMTD – always live and never “cocktailed” to maximize olfactory recognition in the field. Canines are then operationally trained at one of MSA’s regional training sites according to their intended deployment. Training is consistently validated through independent testing and certification on nationally recognized NAPWDA standards.
