Mission

To facilitate the donation of electronic detection K9s to law enforcement. Agencies will help fights against child abuse, child pornography, child predators, and child traffickers. K9s are specifically trained to locate small, easily concealed electronic storage devices that criminals have adapted to contain images and videos. These devices are otherwise easy to miss and are important evidence for these cases.
