Merrill's Detector Dog Services, LLC is a Woman Owned Small Business that is in the process of getting SAFETY Act certified. We emphasize quality of services above all. We match the right K9 with the right handler and we place them in the right setting. Our teams come from a variety of Law Enforcement and Military backgrounds and when Incident Command Support is needed, we have a variety of allies from Federal and Local Government agencies that support us. Reliability is of utmost importance in our teams and we have trainers perform random site visits and give “tests” to our teams to make sure the teams are performing at the top level of K9 detection.
