Communities in the United States today face growing crime rates due to violence and illegal drug-related activity.  The need for adequately trained PSDs within these communities has grown exponentially in recent years.  PSDs can act as deterrents to violent crimes in a community, however, they can also be utilized to track and apprehend criminal suspects.  PSDs can also be used to detect illegal drugs to remove them from circulation and apprehend those responsible for drug-trafficking. 

There is also an increasing trend for volunteer search and rescue groups to utilize dogs to aid them in locating missing people.  Search dogs can pick up the scent of a lost person and lead rescuers to their location.  Search groups receive little to no government funding to acquire and train these much-needed dogs.

Unfortunately, due to the high demand for these exceptional dogs, the costs associated with acquiring and training them are often prohibitive.  K9 Crime Stoppers is dedicated to assisting communities through education, as well as through the training and placement of our high quality PSDs where they are most needed.  Founded in 1999, K9CS has provided dozens of quality dogs to police departments and search and rescue teams throughout the country.
