RALEIGH, NC (July 9, 2019)

To keep up with the ever-growing demand, Stealth Vigilance, LLC (SVK9), added two new Vapor Wake® explosive/firearm detection dogs to their roster. SVK9 finds themselves growing faster than their projections and will continue to add K-9’s as the need arises.

“According to government statistics there are an average of 56 explosives-related incidents every week and that number is increasing,” said Kyle Breischaft, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of SVK9. “We find ourselves in the position of having to expand more quickly to keep up with our client’s needs. We are fortunate to have forward-thinking clients that are proactive about their stakeholders’ safety.”

New team members, K-9s Gia and Diver are highly trained canines that detect body-worn explosives and firearms even while the suspect is in motion in a large crowd. These Working K-9s are the highest trained Bomb Dogs in the industry and have greater capabilities than most Police K-9 units. They are uniquely suited for screening hundreds of people per minute in a non-invasive way.

SVK9 dogs have been used at high-profile events including Super Bowl LIII, NCAA sports, hospitals, and many live events.
