Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act Designation mark
Recognized explosives capability

DHS SAFETY Act Designated technology

When a stadium or sporting-event plan includes ScentWorks K9’s approved traditional explosive-detection canine services in static environments, that technology is designated as a Qualified Anti-Terrorism Technology under the Department of Homeland Security SAFETY Act.

The designation is limited to the approved static explosives-detection technology and does not automatically extend to every event-security, firearms, narcotics, or mobile-screening service.
