ABOUT
Canada’s Leader in Canine Detection
Our mission is to protect the community, with the help of man's best friend.
Titan Détection is an agency affiliated with TITAN SÉCURITÉ that offers detection dog services. We offer detection services for explosives, narcotics, firearms, as well as certain elements relating to public health. We offer unparalleled customer service, marked by rigor and professionalism.
Titan Détection operates a major canine training center in Quebec, where detection dogs are trained, as well as their handlers. Our approach to training our teams is science-based. We are dedicated to supporting research on the various uses of canine detection, as we believe in the vast potential of this practice.
Our Facilities
Titan Détection has a canine training center spanning several hectares, located on the South Shore of Montreal. Fully equipped, this is where the training of our teams takes place. The center is made up of a kennel that can accommodate more than 20 dogs, a large exercise area, a grooming room, administrative offices, warehouses and garages. The site is fenced and equipped with barriers and security cameras. A security detail is also arranged for dogs requiring an additional level of surveillance.
Social Responsibility
The reality we all face today is that, on the one hand, the medical system struggles to diagnose certain illnesses quickly, and in a cost-effective manner. On the other hand, patients are also faced with long waiting lists and unpleasant procedures in order to receive a diagnosis.
One thing remains certain; early detection increases the chances of survival for a person afflicted with a fatal disease. Diagnosing illnesses early and accurately is crucial, and to do so, we need the ability to detect very low concentrations of biomarkers.
Titan Détection is involved in research and development of a disease detection method utilizing sniffer dogs, which could be beneficial for physicians and their patients alike. Although there currently no ways to prevent cancer, detecting it early allows for an effective management of the disease and more favorable results. Science has shown that patients diagnosed with cancer earlier are not only more likely to survive, but can benefit from better treatment plans and higher quality of life than those diagnosed at a later stage.
