Executive-protection K9 details for principals, boards, private clients, and executive-protection teams requiring a specialized capability their standing detail does not carry.

This service is provided as a black-desk, elite service for approved clients with specific security needs that include rapid deployment of a specialized certified PSS K9 and PSD personnel. All agents and K9s provided are certified and ready to travel and be on location with all assets within 24 hours of notification and approval. The following is a list of services provided.

The K1K9™ Detail Group
The K1K9™ Detail Group fields PSS-K9™ - PROFESSIONAL SPECIAL SERVICES K9™ teams for a client set that most protective-services firms cannot support: high-net-worth principals, closely held boards, corporate leadership under credible threat, and executive-protection teams retained by the same.
Foundation and Scale
The Detail Group operates from a foundation established in 2009 in specialized corrections operations, judicial protection, and interagency deployments. The civilian side of the practice extends that same discipline — low signature, high capability, documented at every step — to principals and their standing details.

Engagements are limited by design. The Detail Group does not scale to volume. It scales to fit.
Mission Profiles
The Detail Group is retained for the following mission profiles. Bespoke assignments are considered on inquiry.
Residential Advance and Clearance
Advance sweeps of primary and secondary residences, guest houses, and staff quarters prior to principal arrival. Explosive detection, electronic-device detection, and structural clearance to the standard the standing detail expects but rarely receives.
Vehicle and Motorcade Screening
Explosive-detection sweeps of principal transport, follow vehicles, staff vehicles, and staging areas. Standing coverage available for extended details or high-threat itineraries.
Private Event Detail
Advance and continuous clearance of private galas, board meetings, corporate off-sites, weddings, and closed-audience events. Detection and PSS-K9™-capable coverage on a single retained team.
PSD K9 Augmentation
Integrated PSD K9 deployment beside the standing executive-protection team. The K9 augments — it does not replace — the principal’s existing detail. Discreet posture. Low signature. Non-invasive.
Travel and Transit Detail
Point-to-point movement of principals and family members on commercial or private aviation, coordinated with the standing detail. Transport is arranged as required — armored or unarmored, ground or air.
International Capability
The Detail Group holds current passports and international documentation. Prior engagements include foreign-government coordination and interagency deployment. Health documentation, cross-border transport of certified K9 assets, and destination-country liaison are managed on the client’s behalf.
Retainer and Rapid Response
Standing retainer clients receive 24-hour standby with 24-hour deployment. Rapid-response inquiries are met with a two-operator PSS-K9™ team on-site anywhere in the continental United States within 12 hours of contract execution.
Operational Posture
The Detail Group operates in the lowest visible profile the mission permits. Civilian dress, unmarked movement, and calibrated K9 bearing that reads as household companion — not visible security. Principals do not have to look like a target to be protected like one.
Credentialing and Discipline
Since 2009, the K1K9™ Detail Group has supported specialized corrections operations, judicial protection, and interagency detail work. The training, the vetting standard, and the operational discipline are agency-grade. The delivery is civilian.
No Substitutions. No Sub-Contracts. No Unnamed Assets.
This is not a security-contractor branch office. The Detail Group is a small, hand-selected team of two-operator PSS-K9™ capabilities that deploy together, are documented together, and are known to one another’s work. There are no substitutions. There are no sub-contracted assets. There are no unnamed assets.

Every deployment is documented. Every asset is credentialed. Every principal engagement is bound by NDA on contact.
The Engagement Process
Step 1 — Vetted Inquiry. Principal, chief of staff, or standing detail leader submits the vetted inquiry form. Response is initiated within 12 business hours by a named point of contact.

Step 2 — NDA Executed. A mutual non-disclosure is executed before any operational detail is exchanged in either direction. The Detail Group can execute a client-provided NDA or supply its standing instrument.

Step 3 — Credential Exchange. Client-required security clearances, background documentation, and prior-engagement references are provided. The Detail Group holds current credentialing and can accommodate additional client vetting on request.

Step 4 — Mission Brief. Written mission brief, staffing profile, K9-asset profile, deployment posture, contingencies, and integration plan with the standing detail. Executed prior to any movement.

Step 5 — Deployment and Documentation. The Detail Group deploys. Every asset, every hour, every movement is documented. The written record is transmitted to the client at engagement close, retained by the Detail Group, and disposed of per client instruction.
Channel of Consideration
The vetted inquiry form is the only channel for consideration. There is no general phone line, no reception, and no publicly listed direct email for the Detail Group. Every inquiry receives a named point of contact within 12 business hours.
